yeah...I had read that the aftermarket filters came with cork gaskets and I was hoping to get a better gasket (neoprene ?) that wouldn't be crumpled up.
I was hoping for a better gasket (neoprene?) and thought by ordering the OEM filter I would GET the better gasket although at a much higher price.
Low & behold when I get to the dealer I find you have to pay extra for the gasket.....I should have probably said no thanks but I had the little voice say just eat it this time......so I did.....I'm still chew'in 
I'm figuring next time I'll buy an aftermarket filter (thinking Purolator from Pep Boys) and if the gasket that comes with it is cork and the OEM one turns out to be (neoprene ?), I'll just buy the OEM gasket from the dealer.
Live & Learn.
