10 years ago I worked in a truck repair shop and we used Wix filters alot and they are amongst the leaders in filtration for the trucking industry, along with Baldwin. Keep in mind that M-B is also a leader in the trucking industry, so this is why they probably make em' for our cars. Now as far as the Mobil 1 filter, are we sure they make em' for our car or not. Personally I like the Mobil 1 filter because of the amount of synthetic media inside the filter. I have one more of the old style oil filters because I bought (2) of them last year, $12.00 a piece. I just recently had service "B" done to my car and I'm sure they used the new fleece style oil filter.
