Get the filter from the dealership. Nappa auto parts carry's it as well, its made by mann. If you do the extended service intervals you'll need to have the fleece filter.

Your only option it to go to nappa and see if they have the filter. Dont get those crappy oil filters.
Search the forum, someone posted the mann part numbers.

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.

I'm 100% sure with fleece. Mann did the development jointly with Benz - With paper some are Hengst.

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?
