Missing the metal o-ring that you should replace with the filter. The o-ring comes with the new filter.

Had this same issue on a friend's brand new Audi A4 this weekend. Common mistake oil shops make.

don't tighten to hard, you might bust the alloy oil pan screw hole

Depends on where you get the filter. I had one dealer always tape one on with the filter and another dealer not include it. I ended up buying a large quantity of them from AutohausAZ just to have around and not have to worry about it any more.

ahh, I see. I feel like every oil filter I've ever bought (only Mann, Bosch, or STP) came with all the orings and the metal o-ring/gasket for the drain plug.

The o-rings for the filter come with the filter. The drain plug crush washer does not. This is because Mercedes does not recommend touching the drain plug when doing an oil change, sucking out is the way to go.
