Is the oil filter on a 05 C55 AMG the same as my 06 SLK55 AMG? I have a few OEM MANN FILTER kits (Model #: HU718/5x) from a C55...

According to Amazon.com's vehicle fitment confirmation tool, the MANN FILTER (#HU715/6x) fits the SLK55, but not the (#HU718/5x), which is specific to the C55... Is this true?

Does anyone know where I can get crush washers for the oil drain plugs on my car (other than the dealer)? Is it sufficient to pick some up at a local hardware store?

Thanks!

The SLK55 is the only M113 engine with a different oil filter. It's shorter to clear the bonnet. So a C55 oil filter won't fit. The SLK55 oil filter doesn't fit anything else in the MB range.

Basicly all M112/M113/M272/M272 engines take the same oil filter with the exception of the SLK55
