Depending on how much oil was on yourl filter you could be looking for a new one. Search the site for alternate places to purchase the mas. Installation is really simple.
ever since i replaced my 130K old air filter with a K&N filter my car has been getting a check engine light. I detach my batery, and mabye a month later it comes back on..but now it came only two days after i detached the batery so i figured something must be wrong, even though the car runs A-ok. I made an appointment with the local MB stealership, and they told me that it could be bad spark plugs( which i told them that its not) or that there is a possability that its a bad Mass sensor(which im fearing is not)...Im gonna drop by tomorow so that they can check the car out...but my question is, if its the mass sensor, how much do you expect that to be ($$)

Once you have K&N in your car, you will have to replace your MAF sensor. Why? Because the excessive oil on the filter stick to the MAF needle and eventually, will make the needle not so sensitive. Hence, you need a new MAF sensor.
It will cost you around $250-$400 depending on where you look at.

so either way after i replace it, wouldnt i still have the same problem as long as i have the K&N

When some people (cough *j nolte* cough) believe that K&N actually helps, I believe that for Mercedes, it is.... fucking up your engine.
So... go back to paper and call it a day

wow, c280 Jr...you have like how many thousand posts on bnz and you've never run into a thread about MAS? Check around...there's actually alot of useful money saving info already on this board and the other.
Other things to start thinking about:
A/C compressor...do you run A/C at least weekly even in winter? If not watch out for the compressor going out ($2-3K replacement)
ATF...has this been changed every 60K miles? has it ever been changed? if not...tranny could go out and you'll be staring straight into a $5K repair bill
Rear Diff....has it been serviced regularly? Is it leaking? (shiny oil all over the rear end) mo $$$
Making sure all of these things are looked after will keep you from having to shell out the big bucks in repairs.
If you can thread the needle... and if your drive can lead to Pole Position today, history may hold a place for you tomorrow.
search. think. do. post.
Elvir you clown hahaha
Goto autozone, get them to pull the code for free and report back.
List of what I think it could be:
1) If i had to guess...MAS (get rid of the K&N and use paper...I used K&N and it hapened to me)
2) Coil plug ends (NOT THE COIL) $15 bucks a piece times 3
3) O2 sensor maybe
4) Screw on your gas cap properly! hehehe

should of bought my intake when yo had the chance, i am having no problemns with it and it works great. you could alwyas ebay that k&N i see it one there once and a while so it wont be a total loss. Stop being a clown on the forums and start using it to your advantage, these two forums have helped me save so much money on my car.
i took out the filter, but i want to clean the snesor...This picture does not show it very well, but...the sensor on the right side of the engine, on the black air tube, i took that and blow dried it to take all the grease off of it...now, i want to clean the mass off of the oil but am not sure if all of the oil is supose to be removed or what
then im gonna drive my car and see if the light comes on again, if it does then im gonna go to the shop
