2015 Mercedes-Benz ML 350

2015 ML 350 oil filter question

I ordered 2015 ML 350 oil filter question from online https://www.buymbpartsdirect.com/ called to verify that is a Benz dealer, so I ordered
Engine Oil Filter Element - Mercedes-Benz (276-180-00-09) and Drain Plug Gasket - Mercedes-Benz (007603-012102), today when I received, I opened the box, I noticed similar box as I ordered form some where else, and the part # at oil filter showed
A 276 184 00 25 by purflux by SOGFEI L394 1OV4AOU21-19, obviously it made by purflux, is this consider genuine Mercedes-Benz OEM Parts ?

If benz uses Purflux as manufacture for their oil filter, wonder if I compare the labeled benz oil filter A 276 184 00 25 by purflux by SOGFEI L394 vs L394 sales in at amazon.

Amazon

, what is difference?

Thanks

so benz dealer sales part # 007603-012102, when open the box, the oil filter has " A 276 184 00 25 by purflux by SOGFEI L394 ", now I am just curious what is the difference if I buy just has Purflux box with L394 like this link at amazon,

Amazon

What is the difference?

Thanks

Hi ThreeMBs,

What would you do? buy from the dealer or order it from amazon?

Thanks

It is identical filter (just without MB p/n) so I would (and have many times) buy from the lowest price source.

Thanks all for the reply, Since I already had oil filter from the dealer, I went ahead to order the purflux form amazon, I will compare, and update everyone here. For sure I agree it is the same.
