Thanks for the details on jacking the car. I bought an extraction pump and recently did my oil change, it took me 20mins to do all the job and not a drop of oil spilled. I would recommend trying it
@LeighSr4 жыл бұрын
Thank you for your recommendation. And yes, I used to using the extraction pump to suck out the oil, but I never replace the recommended volume of oil (8.5 litter) by maintenance booklet. That's why I have given up the extraction pump for changing oil. For draining out I can pour in 8.5 litters volume of fresh oil.

First of all a big thank you for all these nice videos. I would love to have a garage like yours. You get more oil out by using an extractor and much easier and less hassle. To get all of the oil out the old way, you need to tip the car... Greetings from Norway.
Excellent nice calm video Thank You! What am I doing wrong each time on my wifes M276 E350? When I remove Oil Filter Housing oil goes everywhere and makes a big mess to clean.

Why not use the vacuum method to suck the old oil out of the dip stick tube? That’s 10X faster and cleaner than the convention method of raising the car and letting gravity do the job!
@LeighSr3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for your comment. There are two ways to discharge the used oil, extraction, or drain. In the Mercedes-Benz maintenance manual (WIS): For the M278 engine, the used oil is discharged by the extracting unit, in order to improve the work efficiency of the workshop. For the AMG engine M157, the same structure as M278 is required to drain the oil from the oil pan. After comparing the two methods, there can be filled with 8.5 liters of new engine oil as required by the booklet with drain used oil. For extraction of used oil, only 7.5 liters of new engine oil can be filled. I think this is why the M157 engine requires drain used oil from the oil pan. I chose to drain the used oil, even though it will take a little longer.
