The ml use a different baldwin filter again.
Or is there a problem with the Baldwin filter catalogue that you discovered?
I was thinking of ordering one and cutting it open along with a factory filter, see what they look like.

It truly is a golden oil filter. Local dealer gouges the hell out of everything here.

Bargain! I bought mine last week for $70. Sad thing is from an external view they look like rubbish quality, poorly cut daggy thread that had blue fluff caught on the burrs, the oil passage holes around the thread are cut off centre or skewed. Was still in the vacuum wrapping in the box. Looked like the kind of filter you get for $15 from supercheap auto.
I just hope the filtering quality exceeds the external construction quality.

While AussieTriton is perfectly correct, if a non-genuine part was to fail and cause an issue then you wouldn't have the benefit of your warranty. If on the other hand a genuine part (say a filter) was to fail then you're going to be looked after because the same people manufactured/sold the faulty part.
While I take the view that many aftermarket products are at least as good, if not better, than genuine parts, during my warranty period I am sticking with genuine stuff to avoid any future arguments. I'm not saying I couldn't win those arguments if they had to be had, and consumer law would be on my side, but if you can negate having the argument altogether that provides additional peace of mind.
