Just finished doing an oil change on my 2018 E300 and decided to post some filter pics. This is a MANN filter purchased from the dealership (yeah, $18.00) and the replacement filter is the same. This filter was in service for 22 months, but has only 4000 miles on it, so a lot of short trips. I was a little bit concerned about the seam in the filter media, and was happy to see that it was completely sealed up on the inside of the media.
Oil used was Ravenol FDS 5w-30 (MB 229.6) it uses right at 6.5 liters. The replacement oil is the Ravenol VST 5w-40 (MB 229.5).
I could see no indication of dirt or debis on the outside of the filter media. Overall very happy with the filter as well as the oil.
Sorry, no UOA to include.
