Got the oil need the filter
Ok so I got the 0w40 Mobil 1 ready to go, need to get the filter. What I have found is 000 180 2609 for a part number. I found two MFG Mahle and Hengst, any preference?
Also I like to make sure I get all the oil out, so I always use the drain plug. I have read where some have two. Does the 02 CLK55 have one or two drains?

I believe the paper style filters better and theyr'e cheaper (not that I care) but won't last for extended oil change intervals as they get brittle and can fall apart after 10K. miles.
I don't believe the fleece style filters is as fine a filter and also appears to release long fibers, which I wouldn't want in my engines.
I like the Mahle brand because of the all plastic end caps on both styles which appear to be of superior quality to the paper or combination material end caps on the other brands. Hengst would be my second choice in either number.
There is only one drain plug, but get a new copper seal for it as it doesn't come with the filter anymore.

Thanks Man, 
that is what I went with, and figure changing at 5-6k miles anyway. I also go the washer too, just in case, nothing like being elbow deep in it and having to run to the parts store.
