2022 Mercedes GLE450 Oil Change

[@jase9951]

Mercedes Tech tip: ALWAYS do the filter first. The little o-ring on the bottom of the oil filter cartridge closes off an oil passage back to the oil pan. As soon as you begin unscrewing the oil filter, the remaining oil in the oil filter housing drains back into the oil pan. In your case, an amount of oil drained back into the oil pan after you had just finished draining it.

Thanks for the tip on the tip lol😂

[@jonathanl2748]

Jase, you are correct! I just did an oil change. I drained the oil pan and then unscrewed the oil filter canister. Sure enough, more oil suddenly dropped out of the oil pan. Great tip! Thanks.

Hi would you mind if recommending a hand tool set for beginner on Mercedes ? I am consider to join a dealer as an express lube tech.

[@anthonydothsuk5633]

I would be great to know the process for resetting the oil measurement in the computer system

[@jonathanl2748]

I lease my GLS450, but I do the oil change myself as I’m. It going to pay the dealer prices. Mercedes states to do the oil change every 10,000 miles, which I disagree with. Great video. Thanks.

[@SVXistance]

Just keep your receipts just in case 👌🏻

[@gabrielcristain7561]

Is the 2020 GLS 450 the same process??

[@jonathanl2748]

@@gabrielcristain7561 Not sure, but my 2021 is the same as in the video.

You don't need to (and probably shouldn't) lubricate the entire O-ring, just the outside surface after it is installed. The purpose of the lubrication is allow the O-Ring to slide against the flange as the filter cap is being tightened without the O-ring "bunching up" and possibly leaking. Since the inside of the O-Ring does not move against any surface as it is being tightened, it is not necessary to lubricate it. This is the same reason it is best to lubricate the outside of the O-Ring on a wrist watch when replacing the watch case back (but use special silicone grease to do it).

[@Scott_X48]

Thank you. I have been looking for this info - the "owner's manual" doesn't say much about it.

[@tkhemjinda]

You don't need to jack the car up? I need to look into this too. Thanks.

[@stephaniekhee653]

Hi chief. when you have the chance, could you please show us how you'd change the ATF on the ZGLE 450 2022 model?

[@tobyjack-wu3su]

27MM metric socket for oil filter

[@mrjoon4869]

Could you please tell about replace fuel filter on this model car and Brake fluid and transmission fluid as well please If you can it would be great Thanks very much

[@datb0imarn3]

Since I watched this vid today, I’ve been reading if plastic oil pan is common on all GLEs.. Is there certain year it has that? And can that be replaced in the future?

[@andyman3471]

What milege of this oil? It seems clean. Am I mistaken?

[@SVXistance]

5k 😂

[@user-vq1se2on5r]

Excellent

[@Keyboard4life]

Great video

[@kenkobra]

The guys at Mercedes told me they suck the oil and don't remove the drain plug. Maybe that is on different makes?

[@Mark-rw3kw]

One can do either, but most dealers suck it out from the dipstick tube. I do that on my Hyundai Genesis as well using a MightyVac 7300 and a small external air compressor, since my oil filter is on top of the engine, just like this Mercedes.

[@seeum2098]

You got a new car or are you servicing it for someone else ?

[@SVXistance]

Yah that’s wife’s car 🤪

[@rwjazz1299]

that oil looks brand new

[@robsteal3887]

Great job, wrong oil though, that's for the older Mercs. You're supposed to use 291.51 or 291.52. Grab your manual and check it out.

[@SVXistance]

Manual states 229.51 /229.52 you probably meant that …I guess mobile esp is rated that ….supposedly helps reduce carbon deposits on direct injected engines ……good thing I change my wrong oil every 5k 😂

[@tobyjack-wu3su]

Anyone looked at a spark plug change yet?

[@alisaleh2509]

I agree with you 5000miles max do not follow the 10k miles oil change

[@talonnied1]

That’s problem with most people when it comes to destroying their vehicles! Improper maintenance and I can do whatever I want to my vehicle! Eventually you will have engine problems and if your vehicle is under warranty Mercedes-Benz will not cover it! Again, put the correct oil specification in your vehicle! It’s there for a reason! If you took the time to read and study WIS Mercedes-Benz explains why to use the correct engine oil specifications. Remember oil is cheap engines are not! Plus if you change your engine oil and filter you know it’s done correctly!

[@alisaleh2509]

@@talonnied1 you dont have to worry when using a high quality oil like Mobil1 Exceedes any Manufacturer specs specialy 0w40

[@talonnied1]

It’s obvious you don’t understand or care about what you’re doing! That’s ok! My car, my money! Your car your money! Read the labels on Mobil 1 or whatever brand you like…If the correct Mercedes-Benz specs aren’t printed don’t use it!

@@alisaleh2509 Many European engines and emission systems are built to different specifications, and many require a European Formula motor oil with reduces SAPS components. Any oil will work, but there is a greater risk of emission system problems down the road, especially if one lives in an area where strict emission systems tests are required.

[@2A5X4A]

I prefer the ford plastic drain plug design, less messy and don’t have to use a tool.

[@jpogigtxcr1778]

The yellow one. It’s my favorite. It gets a lot of hate in the Mustang forum, but I don’t get it. It’s an easy, pry the latch with a flathead, then twist. And twist it back.

[@27ecobeast]

@@jpogigtxcr1778and just take it out slowly to control the flow of the oil, I actually prefer that and techs can’t over torque the plug causing more headache later.

[@kamehamehaX300]

Mercedes 🙄 of course the get rid of the dipstick. The wise over serviced their M276s and m278s. The return on investment on an extractor is CRAZY

[@jeffhalderman3477]

The oil drain plug is designated as a "disposable part" and as such, is supposed to be replaced with every oil change. Sinfully wasteful, in my opinion. Remember, it's plastic and exposed to high temps and "ages" with time. Get a new one at FCP Euro and return it and get a new one for free ! (oil, too !!)

[@SVXistance]

Thanks for the comment !!!! I’ll check FCP👍

[@Bupkus68]

Latex gloves and shorter screwdriver next time

[@talonniedixon2760]

Great job on the oil change and filter replacement! You used the wrong oil. The correct Specs is 229.51, 229.52, 229.61, 229.71, & 229.72…Not 229.5! You can damage your cats, and your engine over time…ppl are watching your DIY’s and trusting your methods, this one is misleading, and wrong!

[@SVXistance]

Thanks for your comment …but Mobil 1 0-40 European formula 229.5 is what most diyers use …I’ve used it for 20 years on all my Mercedes. They all have up to 200k miles still going with no issue …google Mercedes oil change …see what people use lol

[@jayvoltron83]

I call the dealer, they told me they use Mobil 1 5w-40. He explain we live in west coast like where I’m from Bay Area we don’t need 0w-40. It’s for colder climate location. my gle 450 2020 in the service setting I put as 229.52

[@talonniedixon2760]

That’s how things are done. The source always knows best!

[@stephenperrone8694]

The Mobil 1 European Formula is 229.5 specification for older Mercedes engines that are port fuel injected. The engine you changed the oil on is Direct Injected and the Mercedes specification is 229.52 (Mobil 1 ESP). Costs more and it's the same oil used on Mercedes diesel engines which are direct injected too. The ESP oil is designed to reduce carbon deposits in the intake system and intake valves eminating from the crankcase's blow by gases. Forced induction, direct injection engines are prone to this unless they have dual direct and port injection systems(i.e., Toyota). When I went to my dealer and asked what oil to use for a GLS580 they pulled a quart of Mobil 1 European Car Formula off the shelf and said that is what they use. When I questioned them about the actual specification # they said "Oh". Then looked it up in their computer and then pulled a quart of the ESP formula from the shelf and said that is what is called for like their Sprinter diesel engines. If the dealer determines the customer is using oils other than the correct spec it will void the warranty. But worse than that it can ruin the catalytic converter, turbos and intake systems with excessive carbon build up. Also more critical not to overfill the crankcase in these forced induction engines as the crankcase gas vapor pressure can blow out seals and gaskets especially the rear main seal.

[@alisaleh2509]

Do not overthink it mobil1 0w40 is more than good for this mercedes dont fall the BS they requiring just make sure its changed every 5k miles

[@xxdmdeschamps72]

Perfect example on why I will let the dealership do the oil change, can't stop laughing on the flood of oil coming out.

[@Mark-rw3kw]

The dealer probably uses a vacuum suction pump to remove the oil from the dipstick tube.

[@EdwardGomez-u8e]

At least he saved 400.00 dollars
