Wink Re: Oil filter pulled by Chrysler?

Hello everyone,

Re: Oil Filter

I went to a Mercedes dealer today and spoke to a Master Tech about the Mercedes SLK 320...which is the same engine and drive-train as our Crossfire. He told me that Mercedes changed from the paper oil filter to the fleece oil filter in 2001...because the synthetic Mobil 1 oil was breaking down the filter...and its been the fleece filter ever since. Parts department sells it for $20.00.

Also...he said recommended oil change service on the slk 320 is every 14,000 miles!

Hope this helps.
