Glyn -- do you know the Mann part number for the filter? Maybe I can find something off ebay.de.

Sorry to dash your hopes, nickgailloux. Unless you have a V6 C230. The filter is for the 112 not the 271 motor. The same filter is listed on Amazon

Look at the photos in Glyn's post #21
It loks as if paper filters are the norm in Germany too

Well - they work well in Matt's low dust conditions. If I was in a dusty area like Arizona I might reduce drain interval to 10,000 miles using paper filters.
Remember - Even on the W204, Benz USA have now come in line with ROW & drain interval is 10,000 miles with fleece filter.

Glyn - I have two oil samples - one from 81,400 miles (5/2010) and one from 94,700 (11/2010). I want to get them both analyzed but will the oil that has been sitting in the little container for 6 months still give good results? Forgive my ignorance.

EDIT - BTW - I have no objection whatever of you running extended drain. Samples from your car have proven that in your conditions & duty cycle the oil is going 13,000 miles just fine.
