Here is an interesting site on oil filters. This guy bought a bunch of
filters & cut 'em open & compared the guts:

Thanks again for your input and suggestions. For what
its worth, I have always been a Mobil 1 fan. My
theory has always been based on the fact that oil
changes are the major thing one can do to prolong
life, why not the best?
Which leads me to yet another question. What about
filters? In all my other cars I use Mobil 1 filters
(yes, double the price, but still not much in the
whole scheme of things, besides, I do it myself; see
that its done right, and save funds there). It seems
that on this car my only options are M-B parts or
aftermarker, at about the same price. Any thoughts?
