The M/B kit #0001802609 contains the Mann #HU718/5 filter w M/B #A 112 184 05 25 marked on it plus the o-rings. The OE and non-OE Mann filters are exactly the same, yet the non-OE marked Mann cost 1/2 as much as the OE marked Mann. Your wasting your money buying from the dealer. They just double the price by stamping the star & their own p/n on it.
