Looking for opinions from guys in the parts industry on oil filters. Any quality issues with K&N, mahle, or hengst?

I know mann makes the oe mercedes oil filters.

Stay with a filter that meets MB spec. The mann fleece filter labeled as long life and the MB filter will. I use K&N in my corvette on air,, but not on engine oil. I still use only AC oil filters for the corvette. The MB gets only Mann or MB filters.

As if "guys in the parts industry" are engineers.

I guess their is not a lot of knowledge on this subject here.

What's another good mb forum?

Before you rag on the forum, do a search. This section is very quiet com pared to the car-specific sections

In fact, I'll save you the bother

That deals with what you're looking into.

i just installed my first wick filter in our 2003 S-500.iv'e been loyal to mann,hengst and MB oe.but the wick filter media matches or exceeds all of them and will support factory warranty requirements,plus it has "O" rings at the top and bottom where the extension tube inserts through the center of the filter.none of the other filters have this,iv'e allways wondered how those other filters expected to seal in this area.i guess it's not critical and dosent allow any unfiltered oil to get through.
