Thanks for your quick reply!

I'd suggest starting the engine to check for leaks around the oil filter housing before re-installing the top engine cover.

If you flip your 5qt oil bottle over with spout on top the oil will pour smooth and with precision.

Nice vid thank you ......ken. I have the 2013 c300 4matic bought it for my wifes birthday she loves it. Thank you

Yes, my wife loves her's as well.

Loosen oil filter before draining oil. This will allow air behind oil and will drain faster and more efficent. The oil filter will now have no oil in it.

Nice video.

great video thanks

Great video , I have the same car I just subscribed to your channel thanks

20 NM torque for the drain bolt AND oil filter cap. Also, in the oil filter package is a small O ring for the dip stick. FYI

Thank you

Thanks john

You are very welcome.

Thanks for the video. It was really helpful. There is no any information about 3.5liter. Today I've changed the oil of the engine. And I used 7liter oil. Is it okay?

TY

Great Video! Thanks for sharing all the techniques. I am just wondering how big your cap wrench is? Is it a 74mm 14 flute cap wrench or a 84mm 14 flute wrench?

Great video, couldn’t find anything for the 3.5! Just a quick question, does the new o-ring come with the filter? And if not can I have a link on where to purchase it?

I was just reading this again.. The rubber o-ring comes with the filter. There is just one on my engine. It is the large one around the thread area. Some have two and three o-rings.

Even easier way is to skip removing all the undercarriage stuff and get yourself an oil extractor such as the Topsider. Faster, easier, and much less mess to clean.

Actually, that is going to be my next video. The C300 filter location makes it perfect for an extractor.

thanks for the video, question, when you chk the engine level on the dipstick my manual says that the correct amount should be in the middle from high to low and yours was all the way to the top , am i wrong?

Anywhere in the range is fine. I like to keep mine on the high side just in case. But it is very important not to overfill as that will put undo pressure on engine seals. Thanks for watching the video.

I can not get those same cover off for anything. What size are you using?

Quick 2 question what is the size canister of the canister filter wrench and do you have a video on the air filter for a 2013 c300 4 matic ...it looks like it’s on the pas side on this model and not in the top engine intake plenum ?

@JohnCanFixAnything

5 жыл бұрын

I will measure the wrench size for you. I do not have a video for the air filter yet but will put that on my list. It is on the passenger side and comes apart lifts up. I have changed my air filter to a K&N right after I purchased the car. Pretty much eliminates changing air filters after that.

0W has factually superior cold weather cranking and pumping performance vs 5W (per the definition of the grade). 0Ws go above and beyond the cold weather performance test requirements for 5Ws - and typically use more expensive and higher performance base oil to achieve 0W performance. If you are in a warm weather climate then the 5W would probably be fine but I always recommend you stay with what the owner's manual specifies.
