I talked to them Today about a 601 180 01 09 version of the Filter that they've
made up for the AMG canister.
'Would fit Diesels from '82 to '95.
They're gonna obtain an O.E. filter from MB for comparison.

Advantages would be: An 8 Micron absolute filtration WASHABLE element.
I've my fingers crossed!

Below is the Absolute 8 Micronic Stain-Less Steel Mesh filter element they make for the AMGs.
