go to napa for filters they have the best one, i asked them for a 2008 crossfire and they only had the paper filter. I asked them to check a 2006 crossfire and they had a filter that was fleece instock napagold pn#7078. it is the same filter and will work main difference is fleece versus paper. the paper filter will not hold till 7000 miles some say they tend to brake when you remove them.

YOURS!

 

No. I just downloaded it. The fine print says limit of 2 rebates per household so that's $20, but not good until April 2009. Thanks for the tip.

 

I've known about this for a while. One of my good buddies works at the refinery in Beaumont, Texas where Mobil 1 is produced. The place was under 8 feet of water after Ike and Gustav hit. I spoke with him in early December and they didn't think they would be back online until mid-January at the earliest.

I don't like the 0-40 Mobil1 . I use Pentosin PentoSpeed 0w30 direct from Germany. It carries the proper MB 229.5 spec, as well as the BMW Longlife specs for more than 21,000 miles. I can feel the difference in my motor running it and cold starting is fantastic. I also get better mileage with it than Mobil1. The best price I have found is here: http://www.partsquick.com/ProductDetail.asp?i=382564
$31.87 for 5L (5.28Q) shipped to your door, tax free, free shipping. Buying in liters is nicer anyway because the oil specification for the car is 8L even. I syphon all the oil out through the dipstick tube and add exactly 8L. I don't even bother to check the dipstick because it's dead-on, every time. (My C32 doesn't even have a dipstick, it just has an o-ring'd cover for the tube.)

Also, for the record, Mobil1 was NOT the OEM oil in the SRT-6, and probably not in the N/A cars either. The original oil was green, so it was almost certainly the (up to 2005-06) German Castrol Syntec 0W30. The Mobil1 thing is an American market cross-promotion between MB and Mobil. As long as you pick a 229.5 oil you're just fine. Like I said, Pentosin PentoSpeed is the best IMO.

Lastly, I get my filters here:
http://www.germanfilters.com/c32-amg...1247_3165.html
This is the OEM Fleece filter supplied by the same company that MB uses. I have 2 cars using this filter, and so does my brother, so I buy in bulk, but the single and 4-pack pricing is decent too.
