DIY oil filter alert Mahle PN wrong

Do not buy Mahlle OX 345 D for C 63 AMG. It does not fit. ID too small and no "clip-on" to attach to filter cannister lid. The internet vendors show this PN.

So far I have used Hengst WO 133-1785326 and Car Quest 84010 (by WIX) with no problem. Mahle can not now be reached online (vacation), but Rock Auto is stalking them to correct.

Pelican Parts carries the OE Hengst for under $13. Wix is the best unknown filter company out there - I use Wix filters from NAPA in the M Coupe - IMO they're on par with or superior to the big three German companies.

My dealer is 30 miles away, and I usually have other car parts to order. Plus I am greatly depressed at most of the dealer prices (when they have the part).
