autozone oil filter?

No time to order online and I don't wanna get hosed at the dealership. Will any of the autozone oil filters get the job done or are they finicky? Anything in particular to know, like paper filter's don't work, etc?

What do you mean no time to order online?
Can't wait two days (amazon) without an oil change?

I was under the impression that there are no filters other than paper for M271 in the US...

I guess it shouldn't be a problem to use a paper filter for a short time if you have fresh oil. You can always swap with fleece filter after the trip.

Yep, and tell me where you buy fleece filters for the m271 engine - I'd love to use them too.

Just buy one at the dealer, It's the best possible filter option, and it's your engine man.

No fleece filters exist for the M271 in the USA, not even at dealers. However, it is fine to use paper ones - I did so for 150,000 miles on my C230 and even at 13k oil change intervals it was fine (confirmed via regular oil analysis).

Autozone filters are rebranded Mann or Hengst filters.
