I'm not sure if I would ever lease a car, and I don't know how many in this forum are leasing actually... I don't know how I would feel with it because the car won't be mine, so I wouldn't spend too much on it.
Anyway, I won't ever leave the engine die like the guy in the vid did.

There are no fleece filters available for the M271. Does anyone know about the M271 Evo filters? I had two different dealers tell me that there was never a fleece filter for the M271 and they always used paper.
As for distortion or anything, no, no problems here. I use Mann paper filters and Mobil1 0W-40 and run 13,000 mile intervals. Oil last analyzed at 120,000 miles and it gets a great report. I have an analysis ran every other oil change so the next one is due at 146,000 or next month.

Fact is, my friend JB's '99 CLK 430 V-8 uses the same paper filters the W203 did.
