I understand what you say about the filter element being obstructed - and I agree - but - the obstruction could also come from the operation of the thermostat control valve couldn't it?
In the picture I posted the bypass valve is number 9 (this opens with a differential pressure of 3.5 bar)
The control valve is number 12 this one works in combination with the thermostat.

If the Manual is to be believed the Thermostat Control Valve does not block the the Oil Flow when it is completely opened.
I think there must be some poor translation wording in the Manual that is making things more difficult.
The Mercedes I have is the only one I have ever owned. In the 3 years + I have owned it I have had to Cram to learn stuff about it. Apparently the learning never ends.
