I'm not sure I can help as I've changed the oil in my 04 MCS only once but, it was no big deal. I can't remember the black mesh device you are referring to. I did get a filter from my dealer that was an exact match to the one I removed. I put some fresh oil on to the rubber portions of the new filter then WITHOUT the outer housing pushed it onto the engine location. Took it off, the did the same in the filter housing. That makes it easier to screw the housing back on. Make sure you lube the new O ring before installing on the housing, also a little on the threads.
With my left hand, pushed up while screwing the housing back on. Make sure you don't cross thread.. I was able to screw the housing almost all the way on before using the wrench. It will take 5 quarts.
