Great video, love the background music. I passed this on to a forum member who was asking about changing his cars fluid. I have a 156 engine so mine is a little different and I wanted him to see how it is done on his engine, and not on mine. After two years as a tech in a MB dealership, your mind can get overwhelmed by all the different engines. I like the way you clean as you go.

@@silentbutdeadly3466 Hi there. There are quite a few places the oil could be dripping from. It could be the drain plug washer, the oil pan gasket, or it could even be comming from higher up. The valve cover, oil filter housing... If you can, give it a good clean and try to see where it's commig from.

Hello, my car had the dip stick on the left side of the engine. Your car is much younger, so it probably has an electronic measurement in the infotainment somewhere.

Go for it, V8 is a good choice. Check the air suspension (press the button to raise the car up and check if all four corners are raising). Listen for metalic noises from the engine bay (chain rattle = stretched chain, bad tensioners, worn sprockets).

Hey, the oil you used MB 229.51, 229.52, 229.31 is suitable for a diesel engine is it a diesel engine? If it's not oil should be MB approved 229.5, not 229.51 or .52 And the oil filter you used is not suitable for this engine as per Mercedes the filter should be made by fleece. Fleece filters are long-lasting and far better under high temp. and high pressure. correct me if am wrong.

Hello there. Regarding the oil, 229.51 is a low ash oil suitable for diesel engines with particle filters and petrol engines with extended oil change intervals. This may vary country to country (different sulfur content in fuel), in Eurepe, this is the correct oil. Quote: The engine oil specification MB 229.51 is issued by Mercedes-Benz for gasoline engines and diesel vehicles with/without diesel particulate filter. Or: Oil 5W-30 MB 229.51 is a synthetic multi-grade oil and the optimal lubricant for a Mercedes-Benz engine. It is particularly powerful and can be used in Mercedes Benz petrol and diesel engines with DPF and can be used for extended oil change intervals. Regarding the filter... This is the common type offered for this engine and it has been recomended to me. But I´m not 100% sure here. But I never had a problem with this filter, I use it all the time. Thanks for your comment.

What’s the oil spec for 2018 S560, V8 Bi Turbo, Base Model? How about rear differential fluid weight?

@DIYProjectX

Oil should meet MB 229.51 and the rear diff is 85w-90 GL5. But you need to check your owner's manual. There are differences between specific models. Locking diff needs different fluid than oppened diff, and so on...

​@@GranMastaDee These flushes desolve sludge and carbon deposits, so after using it, I want as much out of the engine as possible. Basically, any contamination of your new oil is bad. But I guess there is always a little bit of old oil left, unless you take the oil pan off. There are videos on youtube comparing suction vs. draining, so you can see for your self. It is not a hughe difference. But for example, my current car BMW E60 does not have a dip stick where I could insert the tube. Take care and thanks for your comments.
