Default Air Filter O-ring Placement Question

When I removed the air filter the large O-ring just fell off/out, but when I put it back on the large round plastic part of the filter it was not easy to get on. Does it go onto the filter or was it just supposed fit inside the housing? Can't find a picture of the O-ring placed on the filter...

I replaced mine recently. I believe it went outside of the filter. The new air filter also came with oil to lubricate the O ring. I have a 4.2 though so If you have a 3.2 then it may be different.

No grease or O-ring in my OEM filter box, had to use the old one. I think the 4.2 is different.
