When I had my 85' 380SE, I used genuine MB oil filters.

Would it be wise to continue to do so on my 190D, or is there another highly recommended brand?

Lastly, in this photo is that the oil filter by the power steering pump? Is this like the conventional screw-on filters, or does this have the insert type filter?

Lastly, this will be the first time I have ever changed the oil on a diesel engine (if I change it myself). Are there any special steps I take, or is it just the same as changing the oil on a gasser? Simply drain old oil, remove old filter, install new filter, install new oil and good to go? I just do not want to mess anything up.

My uncle has a diesel truck and he does his own changes, so I may get him to do it for the first time.
