Could you please provide the date of the air filter?

Greetings, everyone. Regarding the e250 model from the year 2010, please refer to the following document for more information. I removed the engine air filter in order to assess its health, since it may potentially be a contributing factor to the many issues experienced with my Om651 engine. I may elaborate on these concerns in the near future.
Is this an air filter manufactured on September 20th, 2011?
What is the visual appearance of the subject under consideration?
3. The subjective intuition: Considering its present state, what is the likelihood that it is the source of sporadic jolts during acceleration and unevenness in the rev counter?
I intend to make the necessary modifications throughout the course of the week.
Thank you for taking the time to read this text.

The current appearance of my vehicle's oil filter closely resembles the one that was replaced a few weeks ago. The garage informed me that the filter had not been previously changed, despite the fact that my car is from 2016. The vehicle continued to operate well, and no discernible enhancements were seen after the installation of the replacement filter.

It's 2010 for me!! I appreciate your response.

The filter seems to be satisfactory.Taking into consideration the aforementioned statement, it is worth noting that the subject in question is of significant age, namely 13 years old.

It seems plausible that the filter in question is associated with the year 2020, as indicated by the presence of the number 20 at the start. The filter in question has the designation "201105" and underwent modification in the year 2021. It is evident that the first two digits serve as indicators of the year.

It is important to consider that the provided information pertains just to the production date of the filter.

Determining the precise timing of the car's installation is impossible without possessing the vehicle from its first acquisition. The object in question may have been stored on a shelf within a container, remaining untouched and accumulating dust for a number of years, until it was eventually installed onto the vehicle.

If the automobile was purchased as a pre-owned vehicle, it is plausible that the installation of some components may have occurred shortly before the purchase transaction took place.

The factory air filters used in most UK automobiles have a limited workload. The significance of their occupation is notable, however somewhat less significant when compared to the use of the same filter in identical vehicles located in Dubai, Arizona, and similar regions.

By adhering to standard stock filters and adhering to regular service intervals, one may ensure satisfactory outcomes.

If the filter is dated 2020, it may be ruled out as the potential source of the problems seen in my automobile. However, this topic will be addressed in a separate thread.
Thank you very much.

During the late 1950s, I recall seeing volcanic ash while driving my Volkswagen vehicle. After around 10 miles, the oil bath air filter became obstructed with ash, necessitating the removal of densely compacted oil and subsequent replenishment.

When examining a vintage filter photograph, it is seen that manufacturers provide the year in varying sequences. In the specific comparison between MB and Bosch filters, one filter displays the year at the beginning while the other filter places it at the end.
At now, it is uncertain if the filtration date can be definitively determined.
