Key features
This oil filter from febi bilstein is supplied as a filter insert, which means it is intended to be fitted as part of the vehicle’s oil filtration setup rather than treated as a generic substitute. The package includes seal rings, helping you replace worn or ageing components during routine servicing. According to the manufacturer, it is produced to OE specification, so the goal is consistent performance and straightforward installation. It is also supplied as a single unit, making it suitable when you are replacing one filter element during maintenance.
What matters most for day to day ownership is whether the part you choose aligns with the way your vehicle was engineered. This filter is listed for use with several Mercedes-Benz models, including E Class, ML, Viano, Sprinter, GLK, C Class and Vito variants. A note worth keeping in mind is that compatibility should be verified using the vehicle identification provided at the top of the page, as restrictions must be observed. ✅
If you keep up with servicing intervals, fresh filtration can help maintain oil cleanliness in normal driving conditions. For peace of mind, the manufacturer provides a 12 month and 12,000 mile warranty, covering manufacturing quality and supporting a value minded purchase. It is a sensible choice when you want an OE matching part rather than taking a risk on unclear fit.

What to know
This febi bilstein oil filter is described as original quality and in OE matching quality, which is an important point when you are aiming for consistent parts fit and function. Since it is made to OE specification, the expectation is that it will meet the same design intent as the original component. The inclusion of seal rings is also helpful, as seals are often the parts that can cause minor leaks or servicing headaches if they are not replaced.
For applications, the listing states suitability for a range of Mercedes-Benz cars and commercial vehicles, including E (212), ML (164), E (211), ML (166), Viano (639), Sprinter (907), Sprinter (906), GLK (204), C (204) and Vito (639). It also lists OE numbers for comparison only, including Mercedes-Benz car 642 180 00 09 and Mercedes-Benz trucks 642 180 00 09. Take note that the Chrysler and Jeep reference number 05175571AA is also shown for comparison only, so it should not be relied upon as a substitute for proper vehicle matching.
Before you buy, use the vehicle identification at the top of the page to confirm compatibility with your vehicle. All restrictions must be observed, because oil filter fit can depend on engine and variant details. Once confirmed, this single unit can be used as part of regular servicing, where replacing the filter element helps maintain filtration performance. 🔧
Usage tips
When installing an oil filter insert, cleanliness and correct seating are key to avoiding service issues. Start by checking that the housing and mating surfaces are clean, then fit the filter insert with the included seal rings exactly as intended. A careful installation reduces the chance of improper sealing, which is especially relevant during the next warm up cycle. 🌡️
It also helps to compare the dimensions against the part you are replacing, particularly height and the inner and outer diameters, as these influence how the insert sits within the filter assembly. If you are working from a workshop manual, follow the specified tightening procedure and service interval guidance. If you are unsure, confirm compatibility using your vehicle identification on the product page before proceeding with the purchase.
It’s not just about completing the job, it is about doing it in a way that supports reliable maintenance. If you prioritise OE matching quality and want a straightforward single unit replacement, this filter insert with seal rings fits that maintenance mindset. ✅
It’s not a great match if your vehicle identification check does not confirm the required oil filter assembly, since compatibility needs to be verified before installation. In most routine servicing scenarios where the match is confirmed, it is a practical, parts based approach to engine oil maintenance.
