Oil and filter was pretty straight forward on this car except for the sump plug which was a real bitch to remove due to a worn hex head A socket extractor removed it with ease but ended up replacing it with a new 14mm equivalent As you know the oil filter cap is only plastic so there not kidding when they say don't over tighten I clicked my filter into the plastic oil cap first then pushed it into the lead of the oil pickup but I guess either way works FYI the 180C manual does say the oil is 5.5L max only so I think 6L may be over filling it Thanks for your good videos :)

yeah..I could never get the filters to snap onto the cap like it would seem they should. A lot of people use a vacuum extractor in the filler tube and never remove the drain bolt..some of them end up seizing

I have a W202 C220 Diesel. The engine takes 6.5L oil , but does the filter take 1L ? Making 7.5L in total ? Like, if you are going to change your oil and filter at the same time, you need to drop 7.5L oil in the engine ? or just 6.5 ?

Well done! BTW how long oil interval do you recomend and how much engine oil does your car needs to add after 6-7k miles? (I meann oil consumption) Thanks.

usually the car went through around 1/2 a liter between oil changes. up to a liter is fairly normal. 10k miles on synthetic or 6k miles on regular oil.

they have O rings sealing them to the fuel rail and to the manifold.. if they aren't clicked in all the way they can leak, or the O ring seals can get old and stiff

hey im having an oil leak issue with my c280, I switched the filter and oil yesterday put 9 quarts and i checked it this morning and its less than half but i have an uncle whos a mechanic and he looked at it said it was the filter which was in bad shape like if it hasnt been switched in years, so after I changed it and the oil im still leaking for some reason the car runs good and sounds good too but idk why its leaking. i also dont have a splash shield and I checked the draining bolt and it looked like the ring was torn could that be it? i dont see any leaks when im sitting there and observing for mins but idk what it could be
@fupabox

it could be the torn ring on the drain bolt...the first thing to find out is whether it is leaking while running, or while sitting with the engine off...put a piece of cardboard under it and let the car sit a while with the engine off...after an hour check for drips...if there are only a few, turn the car on and let it idle while sitting over the cardboard and see if you can see it leaking

***** also the previous owner was using regular gas on the benz and i know its suppose to be premium. should I worried about that or is that not too big of a deal
@fupabox

Pedro Caballero it depends on how they drove it with regular fuel in the tank...driving gently with no full throttle acceleration ,you would most likely be fine with regular fuel..premium only allows a higher compression engine to resist pre-ignition, and allows a more advanced timing curve (more power).

Pedro Caballero the only thing you can do is try to track where it is coming from by following the drips upwards

that sux. you may need to soak it in penetrating fluid for a few days and then use vice grips to grab it..most likely need a new drain bolt as well ,once the old one comes off..it's always best to use a 6 point socket on bolts when ever possible..they provide the most grip and least chance of stripping...you can also file the edges back to shape and use a smaller socket on it
