OK, I have searched all over this forum and other web pages for the MBZ part number for the air filter(s) on a 1998 S500 5.0L V8. A 1997 lists a 003-094-6014 (K&N 33-2678. There is no reference to the 1998 and a 1999 K&N reference is 33-2181. I called the dealer an they will not give out part numbers, but have filters for the 1998 S500 in stock for $62pr. out the door.
I read a lot of threads on the K&N and the MAF failures. Doesn't sound like a good idea going with the K&N. Well, OK, then who else besides the dealer has the OEM filters for a 1998 S500? I checked above in the "order parts", but there is no listing... Anyone know what the OEM part number is for a 1998 S500 5.0l V8 air filter?
Now that I have read all the threads on K&N and MAF failures, I think I will take the K&N out of my 1998 Navigator!
Toughts?
Thanks
