I bought my oil filter at the MBZ dealer for somwhere around 15 bucks and that was with all the o-rings and a couple brass washers.
Are the Mann filters just as good as OEM filters? My local Napa dealer sells all their filters for 50% off this month.

The Napa Gold filter appears to be a fleece filter (I don't remember if it's a rebranded MANN or not) and they should have that filter in stock should they not have the MANN in stock.

That Napa Gold filter is not fleece - It's paper. Bosch is a rebranded Mann. Do not run non 229.5 approved oils - period.

I've done some research and as far as I can tell, all the genuine fleece filters are made by MANN and re-branded, even the K&N ones. With this in mind, why would you ever want to look for something else and risk getting a paper filter or pay more? Also, it is ABSOLUTELY necessary to use a fleece filter. Paper filters will not hold up in the extended oil change intervals.
As far as the oil goes, Mobil1 0w-40 is without a doubt the best engine oil for Mercedes engines requiring 229.5 spec oil. Period, end of discussion.

I just got my engine oil changed and my shop used 0W40 Mobil1, but is there only one kind of 0W40 Mobil1?
I didn't even ask what kind of filter they used, but they always use OEM parts, so it should fleece filter?

yes there is only one kind of Mobil1 0w-40, at least in the US. There are other weights of Mobil1, none of which are recommended for MB's.
