There seems to be a rush to get these Mann filters from Advance Auto, but I'm curious why there're better than the Mercedes OEM filters listed at some dealers on-line for $11.25 (no tax, free shipping for orders >$50 or so), for instance OE Discount Parts

Are the Mercedes OEM filters paper, and is that why the Advance Auto filters are better?

All the Walmarts in the Bay Area don't carry 0W-40 in the biggee size only 1qt.

This would be a great deal for Crossfire owners to be able to buy the big jugs since it is < $5 a qt. Anyone else see Mobil 1 5qt 0W-40 at their local Walmart?

They are not even trying to disguise the filter. It is the Mann filter with O rings in a Purolator Box.

Don't get the L25276 filter - It is a paper Chinese version of the filter.

Went to MY Advance Auto and found what I THINK is the right one ... help me out here, ok, guys?

Mine does not say "Mann" on it - only "Made in Germany 080910".

It has the same coloring as the one pictured in the OP.

The one in the 76 box looks quite different and cheaper - no stringy webbing around the element like this one has.

Did I buy the right Fleece filter? If so, I am going back to get one more - that way, I am done buying Filters for the next two years or so!

Re: Good, Inexpensive OEM Fleece Oil Filter

Boogers, we only have Pep boys, Kargen and Autozone. I went to all 3 today. Pepboys have the L25276 and the L25277 side by side and the latter was $28.49, the other stores didn't even carry Purolator.

Best of all, the price was $11.49 each (plus tax).
Not a bad deal.

The box is unsealed, so you can look before you buy.

Advance Auto is the store that carries the Purolator L25277 for $11.49. Pep Boys carries the same filter for $28.00.

Re: Good, Inexpensive OEM Fleece Oil Filter

I already knew there are no Advanced Auto Parts in Kalifornia, but they have the same $11.49 price online, with free shipping if I buy 8. Perhaps I can find another member to split the order with me!

Does aynone know where I can purchase an extra oil filter cap assembly for quick and easy oil changes? I can't find it listed on any company's auto parts list. The Mercedes dealer here in Fort Washington, PA will not service a Crossfire. The service manager said he could not bring up anything about the Crossfire on his service computer.

I've been buying oil from Wal-Mart for several years now. I've looked at 3 different stores in my area and none of them carry a 5 qt container of Mobil 1 0w40. The pricing above makes me think the oil might be Wal-Mart's brand of synthetic, which typically sells for $5.99/qt in local stores around me. (Not saying it is or isn't; just stating what I see here in SC stores. If it is Mobil 1 in a 5 qt container, consider yourself lucky and I'm jealous!) I've been using Wal-Mart's synthetic in my vehicles for several years and never had any issues. And the last time I researched the source of Wal-Mart's synthetic, Mobil had the contract for Wal-Mart. So Wal-Mart synthetic is a variation of Mobil 1 most likely. Is it exactly the same? Who knows. But if it is, Wal-Mart gets a huge price break.

The answer to that question is NO. MB oem is fleece but many dealers prices aren't that low so when we find them at a good price, we buy.

Re: Good, Inexpensive OEM Fleece Oil Filter

I have seen some that have a "EVOTOP" (apparently Evotop is MANN's term for metal-free eco-friendly filters) logo and others that do not. Apparently just when the filters were made (mine were made in Germany but do not say "EVOTOP").
