Hi bro,I leave in Ghana 🇬🇭 West Africa and I was surprised the way you did your servicing because I am a mechanic too and I do same procedure here as my private job.To see you doing what we call here as galamsay surprised me a lot.😂😂 Thanks a lot for your video. Wish to be your friend and know more about you.

I agree Mike's way of brake fluid change which is ok as long as you do it more often such as twice per year. Here is an experiment: The brake fluid will mix, but you have to drive a few hundred miles before next change. I did it myself long time ago with Brake Fluid Tester showing my old Brake Fluid was at least at 4 % of water contamination. I tested the new bottle DOT-4 it was 1% (inside the Bottle) then I sucked up all Reservoir fluid (all of it ) and then poured the new DOT-4. After 1 week of driving (high-ways and city traffic), I re-tested my reservoir, guess what: it was 3%. This is evidence that the fluid will be mixed. I then repeated the process until I got 1% of water in the reservoir. By the way, don't worry about air if you sucked all the reservoir, because the master Cylinder just below it will be full of fluid and no way the air enters it. When you pour the new fluid into the reservoir, the air in the reservoir will be expelled automatically. Thanks for sharing!

I've been doing it this way in my E350 from 40K miles to 325K miles

Pro tip, take the intake snorkel off before you remove the oil filter and housing. It’s a lot easier to get it out, and less mess. Nice job tho 👍

Mike You are a blessing sir this video took my worries away i did not know the Oil pump sells at Amazon & makes changing the oil a breeze vs the traditional way now i do not have to cough up top $ at the Benz Dealership i can simply do this task myself Awesome brake fluid process as well very simple yet effective Btw sitting down while taking a mans leak is indeed very very healthy it takes guts to start doing it & once you start it aint a big deal way simpler than dealing with toilet seat arguments 😅

Thanks for this detail video.

Great video. Thanks so much. Saved me a few $$$

Lmao I don’t even have this car but for some reason I subbed and watching all of them 🤣🤣 very good teacher tho simple straight to the point

AWESOME tutorial!

great video

Awesome. Thanks for the pro tips.

Appreciate your common sense knowledge

Awesome. Thanks.

Hi and thanks for the great tutorial on the oil change. I just purchased a 2024 GLC 300 and I don't even see the brake fluid reservoir or a dipstick and or a oil filter. Do you have a little advice on where I could find that information Thanks very much

Thx

Thank you! How much break fluid did you use?

Turn that oil jug sideways so it doesent glug and is much easier to pour. Old dream no showed me that trick when I was a kid…works.

Thx Buddy. But the super easy way to drain the oil is to lift the car with a jack. Loosen the 8 screws under the engine, unscrew the oil screw and let the oil Drain out at 100%. That’s what I do and it’s super easy

I’ve tested it on 3 cars. After oil extraction I undid the drain plug. I had a Nissan give 0 drops and 2 Mercedes with 2-3 drops each. The dealership extracts oil instead of draining. I used to be super suspicious of the oil extraction too.

Clean and simple. Thank you. Did you use 6- 1/2 quarts? To maintain warranty do I need to save receipts?

So you service booklet has a section for you to fill out, I just took photos of receipts etc... They continued to warranty my E350 to 180K miles no questions asked and my gLC300 never needed any warranty work.

I'm new to MB and havent taken delivery of my 24' GLC yet. I thought a fuel treatment is also done on Service B?

I have a 2020 GLC 300…. Are the parts the same?

Why my brakes sound like air every time I let go of the pedal ?is that normal ?

That's not how to change brake fluid

Why do you have 0w-40 and 5w-40 for oil ?

Hi, did you bleed fluid brake on calipers of each wheel? Replacing the brake fluid only in tank is only to pass the technical review. :-)

@mikeicee

Most of the brake fluid is in the tank, I did this on a BMW that tests the brake fluid. It was happy for over 2 years.

Wouldn't have been easier to take off the air manifold pipe? And it seems to be easier just to undo the eight bolts in the bottom over the oil pan and drain it the old fashioned way.

How can I opel the hood this angle?

once you open hood, just simply push very gently more up. if it feels difficult don’t do it Pepe. old Mercedes had complex sequence but around 2010 and up they just need a gentle push for the hood to reach service position.

Don’t bleed brakes this way. Get a pressure bleeder and go to each wheel caliper to drain fluid. It’s so easy and removes much more fluid. Just search for brake pressure bleeding on utube.

That's not how you change brake fluid. First you change what's in the reservoir then you bleed the right rear caliper until clear brake fluid comes out while maintaining the level in the reservoir, then do the same left rear, right front then finish with left front. The brake fluid goes bad at the calipers before the reservoir . Putting fresh fluid in the reservoir and not bleeding the calipers accomplishes pretty much nothing.

The fluid mixes, My 2011 E350 has almost 300k miles and no brake problems. The GLC is under warranty still.

@@mikeicee I have to disagree and you need to talk to a tech that knows. Fluid does not mix in the calipers as there's no way for new fluid to get there without bleeding them. There's no circulation like engine oil, once fluid is at the wheel that's where it stays unless a caliper or hose or brake line is leaking. Just because your car is under warranty means nothing if you don't perform the maintenance properly. You're giving wrong information here, talk to any tech and they'll verify it.

Do it and undo the drain plug, you’ll get an extra drop of oil out. All Benz 1998 and up are made for oil extraction via the dip stick tub.

You never mentioned what type of oil you used.
