An oil filter includes a casing () having a cylinder portion formed with an opening in one end thereof and a threaded portion formed on an inner peripheral surface of the cylinder portion, and a cap () threadably engaging with the threaded portion to contain a filter element between the casing () and the cap (). The cap () includes a flange abutted on an open end surface of the cylinder portion of the casing () and allowing the cap () to be positioned by the casing (), and a recess fittably receiving a sealing member for obstructing oil flow between the cap () and the casing (). The cap () is formed with a facilitating portion that allows at least a part of the sealing member to move onto a radial end surface of the flange when the sealing member is mounted on an outer peripheral surface of the cap () at a place between the flange and the recess and the cap () is positioned by the casing ().
