Default Re: What happened with the oil filters??

The Napa FIL 7078 oil filter is a Mann HU 718/5 fleece filter (stamped on the filter). That is the Mann filter that Chrysler and Mercedes stocks for our engines under their own part numbers. They are $17.xx at my local Napa, and with a business discount I am buying them for $12.xx. However, it is not the filter that Napa lists for the Crossfire, but is listed for the Mercedes SLK. If you ask Napa to sell you a filter for the Crossfire they will hand you a paper filter. So, you need to ask for a FIL 7078.
