The way I read the oil change info:

"OX128 Oil Filter 996-N": OX128 is the "MAHLE" brand oil filter

"1-MT5-40-Q Synthetic Oil -N": 5W-40 Synthetic Oil, (Quaker State?)

"18x24 ...": 18x24 is the size of the aluminum crush washer on the oil plug.

When I read the original Post, I thought the exact same thing but was afraid to make that comment. That being said I'd replace the oil all together and then hope that the before mentioned oil was not used long term in the engine.
