A filter assembly includes a filter housing, a filter housing lid, a filter cartridge, an endplate, and a seal member. The filter housing defines a first cavity and comprises a return passage in fluid communication with the first cavity. The filter housing lid is selectively coupled to the filter housing and defines a second cavity coextensive with the first cavity. The filter cartridge is positioned within the first cavity. The endplate is coupled to a first end of the filter cartridge. The endplate is configured to interface with the filter housing. The seal member is coupled to the endplate and is configured to be received in the return passage. The endplate is configured to partially separate the filter housing from the filter cartridge. Una unidad de filtro incluye un alojamiento de filtro, una tapa de alojamiento de filtro, un cartucho de filtro, una placa de extremo, y un miembro de sello. El alojamiento de filtro define una primera cavidad y comprende un conducto de retorno en comunicación fluida con la primera cavidad. La tapa de alojamiento de filtro se acopla selectivamente al alojamiento de filtro y define una segunda cavidad coextensiva con la primera cavidad. El cartucho de filtro se ubica dentro de la primera cavidad. La placa de extremo se acopla a un primer extremo del cartucho de filtro. La placa de extremo se configura para interactuar con el alojamiento de filtro. El miembro de sello se acopla a la placa de extremo y se configura para ser recibido en el conducto de retorno. La placa de extremo se configura para separar parcialmente el alojamiento de filtro del cartucho de filtro.
