04-13-2012, 09:22 PM #1I usually order bosh from rock auto ect but can't afford a pack right now and I haven't had much looking locally, I found some from STP that looked right, but not sure, and I don't recall the bosh part number to look there.

04-16-2012, 04:13 PM #8Congratulations on the job! I think I need to start hunting for one again so I can have funds for my Mercedes addiction, although this time I'm gonna try to avoid working at a pizza place, or anywhere that I have to deal with customers for that matter lol

That being said, I've decided a while back my primary car and primary truck will get a Franz bypass filter when the budget allows.

04-17-2012, 09:49 AM #9The cotton argument is interesting, I'm not sure how much weight to give it given the factory filter uses it as well as the vast majority of brands known for high quality, and these engines seem to have a habit of lasting 300,000-500,000 miles when cared for.

only because the bypass section is made of pleated media instead of that cotton garbage.
maybe its a good move, maybe it's not...but that main oil filter and the spin on fuel filter are my next targets for upgrades

Project 2018: Really get the car finished -- Turbo OM617 greater than 175 MPH goal.
RED W123 - left Germany as 240D in 1982. Full AMG body kit less rear apron, 2:65LSD, five speed Getrag 717.400, manual steering, read leather interior, manual brake conversion, electric water pump (EWP), and a bunch of other goodies ...
I got Atlas Brand. Final cost including shipping is $1.30 ! Since I plan on changing the oil every 5,000 miles, I'm OK with using a real, made in the USA oil filter !

LOL ... Atlas is no longer a US Company. They went out of business. I bought these NOS. They look identical to all the German makes. I bought 12 for $1.00. That was my bid. Shipping was around $15 bucks or so. When the US used to make parts and items, I would bet my money on the US made item against any German item any day of the week. Those days are pretty much over right now. I kick myself in the butt for not bidding on 6 fuel filters by Mann. I basically got enough oil filters for 60K miles.
