Introduction
I have just done 20,000 km with my 2008 B-Class 180 CDI (so it's a diesel engine) and it's time for an oil change!
-
-
Open the hood and wedge it using the yellow rod.
-
The filler cap is located on the left of the air filter.
-
The cap must be removed to facilitate the flow of oil.
-
-
-
Slide under the car and remove the cap using a 13mm wrench.
-
Place a container under the hole to collect the oil.
-
-
-
Replace the plug and gasket with a new plug and gasket.
-
Tighten the cap with the torque wrench to 3 daNm.
-
-
-
Remove the cap, place a funnel and pour in a maximum of 5.8 litres of 5W30 engine oil to MB 129.51 standard.
-
I only put 5.4 liters. There is always oil left in the engine!
-
-
-
The oil filter is located under a plastic cover to the left of the engine.
-
You have to remove the air inlet collar to have more space!
-
With a 27 socket and an extension, you have to unscrew the plastic cover.
-
-
-
The cover containing the filter must be unscrewed by hand.
-
Then take the whole thing out.
-
-
-
Remove the old filter by pulling it backwards.
-
Remove the two O-rings with a screwdriver.
-
-
-
The installation of the filter and the O-rings is carried out in the reverse order of removal.
-
-
-
Screw the assembly back together by hand.
-
Tighten using a 27 socket and a torque wrench set to 2.5 daNm.
-
-
-
The oil dipstick is located on the left above the air filter housing.
-
Pull the gauge out.
-
Check the oil level, which should be between the max and min marks. The level is here. (red arrow)
-
Here I am, good for 20,000 km. But you have to check the oil level regularly!
