Mercedes W212 | Engine Oil Change The Classic Way

How to change engine oil and filter the classic way for Mercedes-Benz. This is done on a E-Class W212 Diesel engine OM651. But the procedure is mostly the same on other engines and models.

Normally I do change the engine oil in my garage, jacking the car up. But because I wanted to get better shots I did rented a car lift here in town for this engine oil change.

Don’t forget to always change the copper gasket/washer. Is really important because if you not change it the oil pan could start to leak. I change both gasket and oil plug is only about 2-3 euro.

Also want to say that’s I have no mechanic degree or something like that, just a hobby mechanic that try to figure out how to repair and service my car at home. I do read the mb documents before how things should be done, and try doing it the (right) way.

But always do your own research before attempt the things you see in my videos. Let me know in the comment section below how you doing the oil change, and which oil you prefer and why 👊

Don’t be afraid to ask me anything you think about this topic, I try my best giving a proper answer.
