The recall work on my 1985 300SD trap oxidizer was done by the local MB dealer (free) several years ago. I'm a bit unclear as to what exactly they did (anybody know?) but the air filter housing remained unchanged. I believe this setup is fairly unique to this year in California. As a result, the standard replacement
filter is $56 at Kragen and comparably priced elsewhere. This was in part why the concept of a reusable filter seemed attractive.
Based on some of old navys' comments, the unavailability of the K&N for this year may have been a blessing in disguise.
I seem to recall paying less than $20 for a replacement air filter for my '77 300D (RIP) 285K, not so long ago.

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is.
