Note that inside of the stock Oil Filter Housing is a Bypass Valve and a Thermostat that controls the oil going into the Oil Cooler.

Any spin on filter that has a bypass valve built into the filter is likely to have a valve the opens way sooner then the Mercedes bypass valve. That means Oil in that particular spin on oil filter would not be passing through the filter element.
