It can be but not in this case. I have owned my Crossfire for 17 years and have changed the fuel filter regularly. I always have bought a genuine Mercedes fuel filter because they are not very expensive and every single time it has been a Mahle KL 82.
Every genuine Mercedes part I have bought has been made from the same manufacturer as the original part.
