I used to use the Miss brand, because my mechanic said a Miss is as good as a Mahle.

No longer available, sadly.

$6 for an oil filter? Is that new or Used?

The best price I've found lately is from a place called Ramac Industries:

You have to create an account with them in order to order stuff. Two months ago I bought ten filters for $48 including shipping.

You don’t need to fill the housing. But if it fills your sails, fill your filter.

Do a search on Rock Auto p/n OX149DECO. Should be just under $4.50 or so

They used to come up while searching oil filters for a P2.. not sure what changed.

Could have been a change of manufacturing site. Used to be made in Germany, but now the Czech is in the Mehle.
