Yet another amazing video. Thanks for helping me keep my m113 healthy. Love from Las Vegas

Thanks for posting these videos! Really well made! Great video angles and very clear, detailed explanations of each step and very good pace on the videos. I noticed you have maintained your quality into your more recent videos. Thank you and look forward to more :)

your videos are so relaxing to me lol I don't know why, I love them. I am a fanatic owner of an 06 E55 AMG, that helps too.

most detailed video i've found. Most guys don't even show 2nd oil sump. just subscribed ! Please show centre jack lift location more clear in future vid when lifting. Thanks , very informative

Just got mine a week ago, super clean and iam in love with it 🤩💖

You are the Robert DIY of AMGs!

Thank you for the great video ! Greetings from Bulgaria ;)

Such a beautiful engine

How did you clean/maintain your engine this nice? Looks like the engine came straight from the factory and was never used. Great video. Thanks.

how could 21 people give this a thumbs down? Thanks for the great detail.

Doing this at home today, thanks for the video

Thanks for the vid!👍😊 have a G55 AMG, same engine.

Another great video. Thank you. Two oil changes ago I swapped my drain plugs out for Fumoto oil drain valves and used a hole saw on my drill to cut 3" openings in my shielding panels directly below the valves. My last oil change was SO MUCH EASIER. Now I don't have to jack up the car, crawl under, an remove the panels. I just slide my drain pan under the car, reach under and remove the safety clip, flip the lever, let the oil drain into the pan, and then flip the lever back and replace the safety clip. Done. Easily saves 15-20 minutes and a bunch of effort. I would strongly recommend giving them a go. I scratched a line on them and the car so I could visually verify they were staying screwed tight they're holding tight after 15,000 or so miles. I'm due for another oil change this weekend and I'm almost looking forward to it. - EZ Oil Drain Valves is another company that makes them, I'm not sponsored.

nice clear easy vids. subscribed.

Great video!

Thanks for the informative video I have a 2013 E350 is it better to change the oil at less than 10,000 mile which is what the recommended factory manual state. I was in Europe they change theirs at 8k.

Awesome video, maybe some acceleration videos?

Once again great video

Amazing video thanks !!!!

Great vid. What camera are you using?

Amazing channel.

Great video one thing though I suggest putting the car on ramps a car with bags on jackstands letting the tires hang down isn’t really good for the bags so next time I would put the car on ramps

Thanks for the insight

I recently got a 2005 e55 with 121k miles and i was wondering what kind of oil do you think i should be using? I would appreciate an answer very much so!!!

Your Engine needs 8,5l oil. How many You put in? Because i heard to put a bit under the given oil level. So it Should be 8,2-8,3l if its right..What do you say/think?

nice video!!!

Love your chanel

Hello I changed upper and lower control arm . Im still having clunk. I never had that before, you think this can be the culprit?

Does this engine have an engine oil dipstick, or do you check level electronically?

@amgmeister where exactly do you jack the car please? I am always afraid to jack up my car under plastic bearings which could hide a place where it isn't safe to do so 😔 Thanks!!

With such an extensive process I would replace the oil drain plugs with servo actuated valves. Then have drain hoses merge and route under the front bumper for servicing without jacks. I've been using fumoto oil valves on all of the vehicles I work on for several years without issues. This is my 02 cents.

I do my oil change without a jack. And i still drain from the oil pan. Removing the plug bolt.

Now, when lifting, does the air suspension in these cars need to be disabled?

Im getting a clunking sound replaced my upper and lower control arm along with lower ball joint. Can this be the cause ?

I have two questions. How is your E55 so insanely clean? It's spotless everywhere.. not a single bit a grease. I don't quite understand that. Also, why are there so many more steps for this oil change than say an American engine when there really isn't that much of an engine longevity difference?

Do you know where I can get and what the part numbers are to the front and center shielding?

Quick question... In the end shot the car looks to me to be very low. Is it just lowered through the stock airmatic system or an aftermarket part? Thanks. Great video!

Just to add more value to the video, the drain plugs need replaced at each oil change, per Mercedes documentation. They are cheaper than the filter, so it doesnt make sense to skip this either.

Bayhas Kana is correct. You will always have a slow leak if you do not replace both drain plugs with an OE plug at each oil change. They have this yellow gunk on them that is one-time-use. Even at the dealer they are only $7 so it's not a big deal if you really want to keep your car clean underneath.

Ahhh dude if only this came up on my feed on Saturday when I was working on my girls merc....I had a really hard time jacking the car using the jacking points (because Mercedes makes it difficult by making the jacking point so small) I didn't have enough room to put the jack stands cuz the pad of the jack was in the way ....I noticed you jacked it up from the middle where did u put the jack ?

I wouldn't recommend it for these cars since you wouldn't be able to get everything out, especially from the rear section of the oil pan which is separated by the raised part over the subframe below the pan.

Hello. Nice video. recently i purchased a CL55 AMG V8 Kompressor, what an amazing enigine & car. I have an oil vaccum extractor witch i used on my previous W220 S-class. Even tough i watched some videos about changing the oil in those engines i am still a bit afraid to work on mine :) Does all the M113K engines are the same? does my CL55 engine has the same requirements as the E55 engine? odd thing, i know MB recomand aspirating the oil out of the engine and not draining it out, but in your video i saw you just drained it, is there a reason for this? Cheers Yair

@AMGmeister

5 жыл бұрын

Hello, MB definitely recommends draining the oil from the engine. In the E55 AMG w211 you must drain the oil from the engine as it has two drain plugs. Sucking out the oil from the top would not work on the E55, you would miss some oil. I believe the CL55 has only one drain bolt so you could technically suck out the oil from the top but draining the oil is better. It ensures that you get the old oil out properly.

Yair Miron Ok, if the CL 55 has two drain bolts, it means it has a chambered oil pan. You must drain the oil. You can drain it yourself. Just get two jackstands to safely hold the car and follow this video.

May I recommend that you put a list of tools and parts in the video description? It helps to have it clearly listed instead of having to click around in the video to find it. It would also be good to specify size and/or part # for the crush washers.

Get a weird issue after my oil change (plus filter), once added 8 liters of Mobil 1 (4+4 cans) the digital indicator still shows only 6.5 liters. How could it be possible? Is something wrong with the car? Should I add more oil? (Although If I do so I would be using more than 8 liters in total)

The indicator shows how much oil is in the sump. More oil is up in the engine ,filter etc,, Do not fill your engine to get the indicator to read the replacement amount or you will overfill the engine. Measure carefully the correct amount and put it in ,,,then stop.

Song??

Can't you just vacuum the oil out through the dipstick pipe? There is a lot of videos on KZread on how to do it. It's simple and fast. And as the oil filter is also absolutely accessible - right in front of you on top of the engine - vacuum engine oil change on a Mercedes is a must!

@AMGmeister

4 жыл бұрын

Yes, you can vacuum the oil on other Mercedes. However, you cannot do that on the SL55/E55/CLS55. The oil sump is chambered on these cars so the vacuum would miss two litres of old oil in the rear chamber. There are two drain bolts for a reason. Always follow the workshop manual.

The oil pan goes over the suspension subframe and has a low spot at the front and also at the back, hence two places needing to be drained.

The reason why the E55 AMG is it has 2 Oil Sumps Reason for that it is a high performance engine to avoid bubble in the oil there is a upper and lower engine always sucks from the lower part of the sump all the oil will be 100% bubble free when it enters the lower part of the sump. Thus engine always has the needed clean bubble air free oil.

look how much the chassis flexs at 4:43

I prefer to suck my oil out through the dipstick with a vacuum pump
