The info on the above link contains the following statement: "229.5 engine oils must be used with fleece oil filter designed for use with 229.5 engine oils. MBUSA dealers use fleece oil filters for everything now. "

What does that mean? I used a Mann filter which I assume is fine but what is fleece? I looked for 229.3 oil but all they had was 229.5.
