I always put oil on O-rings when installing something that uses them even when the part appears to have some on it already. The last thing you need is to pinch and nick the O-ring when installing the part with them on.
The so-called ‘fleece’ filters are in fact made from Polyester, my 2004 Crossfires came with a paper filter but the FSS was set at 11,000 km oil change limit.
