Re: Good, Inexpensive OEM Fleece Oil Filter
I noticed the same thing at Advance recently. They carry the "PureOne" premium fleece filter but it is not referenced in the filter application catalog in the store for the Crossfire or for 3.2l Mercedes vehicles. Only the L25276 paper filter is listed in the catalog. So the average guy going into Advance and looking up the filter for his Crossfire will not see the fleece version unless he peeks into the box sitting next to the recommended paper L25276.
FYI... In 2005 Bosch and Mann-Hummel entered a joint venture. Later they purchased the Purolator filter business.
