I have a 2012 ML350.

How come Mann does not sell to the public the OEM oil filter for the 2012? They sell it for every year but this one?

Is it possible to buy other than at the dealer?

I looked around several sites and even ordered one from Amazon several months ago. When I punched in the necessary information the Amazon box came up saying the filter would fit my 2012 ML 350. It was a K&N filter and I just checked a moment ago and Amazon is still saying it will fit - but it does not. I had to return it and, for whatever reason, oil filters to fit our 2012 model are only available at the dealer. If you are a MBCA member you get a discount on this filter of 15%, I believe.

New models are delaer-only parts - then about 3yrs out the part becomes "open" to wholesale market.

Common to "most" luxury brands
