As above.
This was the engine oil and filter change as part of an A Service, in this case Items 1 and 3. Item 1 being a general vehicle check and 3 being this oil and filter change. Item 1 was addressed a week ago in the form of the annual MoT test, a government required safety check here in the UK.
Whomever last serviced the car requires a slap because they clearly fitted the oil filter cap using an impact gun which took a moment to resolve. My go to method for this is a leather belt but this wasn't enough to release the cap so I had to get creative and judicious use of a large G clamp got it done. Obviously it was refitted nice and snug by hand to two clicks of the wrist.
For reference this engine takes 8.5 litres of oil and that was also how much was extracted from it and not a moment too soon from the state of the old filter.
The previous service, before I purchased the car, was carried out in 2022, but barely 7,000 miles ago.
The smoke seen after the first start was simply the residue from a slight spillage as I put the last 0.5 litre in.
Contrary to popular opinion, these cars aren't particularly costly to maintain... this service cost a grand total of £70... that's £60 for 10 litres of Mercedes 229.5 oil and £10 for a genuine oil filter.
