How to Change Mercedes GLS 450 Engine Air Filters

This video shows you how to change Mercedes GLS 450 engine air filters. It only takes a couple of simple tools and under 30 minutes to save quite a bit vs. having it done.
I prefer the Hengst brand filters when they're available. Here is an Amazon affiliate link for the air filters : amzn.to/3daHzIz 2 filters required per vehicle.

2019- e450 4matic has same 2 filter setup (much easier access). This video was great for giving me a quick overview before taking on the job.

Thank you so much for your awesome videos. I really love to see how you take care of you cars your self and helping people to do it. I have a 2014 GL 450 . How do I change the engine air filter? Do you have any video that can help me. I think yours is different than me. Thanks again I really appreciate it.

[@pinkcaddygarage267]

Yes, you do have a different engine on the GL 450 so videos that I make with our cars are not going to match up. However, I would think there’s got to be some KZbin content out there on that subject already.

[@danielclinkenbeard9630]

I enjoy your videos. I have changed these filters several time. You can use a Schwaben stubby socket driver set to remove the engine air filter torx screws and not have to remove the above plastic covers. Makes the job easier and faster.

[@pinkcaddygarage267]

Cool, I’ll try that next time. Thanks!

[@perri8011]

can you send a link for the socket driver?

[@damtree2]

These are exellent vidoes. Question, do i need to disconnect the battery before replacing the engine filters ?

[@pinkcaddygarage267]

Almost every task is precede with an instruction to disconnect the battery. Probably not necessary in this case. I would think as long as the ignition is off there isn’t any voltage going to the sensors.

Do you have a video for the engine coolant thermostat housing on the GL450 2015 V6, It looks like a challenge. Thanks

[@pinkcaddygarage267]

Sorry, I haven’t done that yet.

[@tg8085]

Have a problem with reverse light staying on when bulb is in on the left?

[@pinkcaddygarage267]

Hey T g...sorry but I haven't run across that one yet.

[@kostas_wellknown4519]

[@pinkcaddygarage267]
