Did Mercedes change their oil filters?
The last oil filter I bought from the dealer (in December 05') looked like this:

I would have ordered here, but I needed it right away, as I have added "Auto-RX" to my engine in hopes to clear out the oil tubes, which I have heard may be causing my lifter chatter. However, it does not have the "movable" handle you can pull it out with, but instead a stationary looking clip on it that you have to snag it with to pull it out. I think it says "Hengst" on it, (as well as "Mercedes" stamped on the top) which is a filter that can also be bought here. I think my last one (like the one on the first link) was a Bosch. I need a good filter to collect all of the dirt/sludge that this treatment is supposed to break loose. Is this filter as good? Thanks in advance! |
