I was able to get the manager at an Autozone to giveme one instead of a Mobil 1 filter
when they had the last buy 5 quarts for $29.99 and get a free Mobil i filter.
I got the K&N HP-7004 then compared it to the fleece Mann filters I have.
The K&N is made in Germany. I then looked at the number on the instruction sheets for both
that are in the plastic bag with the o-rings. They are the same number on that sheet.
So to take it one step farther before I install it I called K&N and they told me they have
them re-branded for them by Mann. So in reality it is the same filter and will perform
just the same as OEM or the Mann which is a supplier for MB oil filters.
I see no risk at all using it.
Take a look at yours and you will see the made in Germany on the filter.

Make sure you dry some of that oil off of the K&N air filters before you install them. They can and will foul your MAF sensor if over oiled.
