It's a Top MOD. IMO it's bit silly.

I mean in the 60's Yes. because manufacturing a can type oil filter was more expensive via a large amount. Now it's only cost of steel difference.
Mercedes still use it and have for years but by late 70's it was gone.
The last steel oil filter ive seen on a benz was an old mid 80's 180E, all the newer benz's use cartrige filters, think ve commodores have them too.
