Removal and Replacement

PROCEDURES
Change oil only with engine at operating temperature





1 Remove left air cleaner housing (arrow).





2 Before evacuating or draining oil, screw off cap (2) with socket wrench 103 589 02 09 00. Remove screw cap (2) together with clipped-in oil filter cartridge (4).





3 Suck out oil through dipstick guide tube with engine at operating temperature.





4 If oil evacuation unit is not available, drain engine oil from oil pan (arrow); for this purpose remove engine compartment panelling at bottom.

Installation Note
Replace sealing ring on oil drain plug (arrow). Tighten drain plug (arrow) to 40 Nm.





5 Replace sealing ring (3).
6 Insert oil filter cartridge (4) into oil filter housing (5).
7 Install screw cap (2) and tighten to 20 Nm.
8 Install left air cleaner housing
9 Open cover (arrow), add engine oil. Allow engine to run and check for leakage.

SPECIAL TOOLS












SPECIFIED VISCOSITY CLASSES ACCORDING TO SAE AT LASTING AMBIENT TEMPERATURES





The SAE class (viscosity) must be selected according to the average air temperature according to the season of the year.
Exact adherence to SAE classes according to ambient air temperatures would require frequent oil changes. For this reason the temperature limits for the SAE classes should be considered to be guidelines which can be exceeded or dropped below for a short time.
See Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Service Products for additional information on prescribed viscosity classes and approved engine oils.
