thanks ben47
stranger things have happened and i am ready to change my oil! i tend to change my oil every 3,000 miles... which works out to once a month, so that means i got to drop a buck fifty every time i hit 3,000? Strange and i thought MB parts were suppose to be more expensive than chrysler because of the name. like to see what MB will charge for filter if they go this route as well.

thanks again for the post.
