Superseding Oil Filter - Questions

[DarkStaR]

Is the following filter:

444.4.003.5A

the correct filter superseding the following ('05 S2R 800) filter?:

444.4.003.4A

I haven't taken off my old filter yet, as the oils just not due, but it seem to be a bit shorter and would require an 8 sided cap tool rather than a 14? sided cap tool.  Luckily I haven't bought a cap tool for the duc yet.

TIA

I think it's a conspiracy to keep selling people new oil filter removal tools. 

Honestly, not a clue why it changed.
