FYI...

I went to my Chrysler dealer today...and this is what I was told and showed about the Crossfire Oil Filter.

New oil filter to be used is Chrysler Part # 5102905AB which on the box is a Mercedes 000-180-26-09 Fleece filter...and the price was $45.00!! from the chrysler dealer. Dealer parts mgr said that is the new filter that is specified to be used now.

This filter ( MB# 000-180-26-09 ) replaces the Mercedes part number 000-180-31-09

I also called 4 local Mercedes Dealers parts departments and they also confirmed that the newest filter to be used and supplied is the 000-180-26-09 FLEECE fILTER....There prices ranged from $22.00 - $24.50 ( dealer dependent )

Therefore..., the website previously posted with a $14.00 price is a great Bargain and is the correct part number.
