Mercedes-Benz S550 Air Filter Replacement (M278 W221)

Ғылым және технология

This week we do the air intake filters on my 2012 Mercedes-Benz S550! These were much in need of replacement and are often overlooked by owners. Definitely replace your filters, it’s a quick and easy job and will make a world of difference for the health and smoothness of your engine.

    Adding a comment to help the algorithm(s) because short videos like this are why the internet is great. Guys like this don’t appear to be getting rich off these videos either but still taking the time and editing (which is more than most know) to produce content for people that might spend $200 in labor on this service.

    Thanks for posting this. In my search for “how to” videos about this, I notice that no one uses a head mounted GoPro or similar. This would be very helpful and you can have both hands free while you narrate. In many parts of these videos the viewer cannot actually see what you are doing. Just a nit for future videos. You’d get more views I believe.

    Hi, after I changed my air filters with K&N filters, I received an engine code P1CE7. I'm guessing the seal isn't tight enough? I noticed one of the bolts on the air box kept spinning and never felt tight enough when I put it back together.

    If I have to do the removal again I will. It's a simple matter of pulling them off of the airboxes though, super simple. Thanks for watching!
