How to Change Oil & Filter 2004 Mercedes C230 (W203)

[@TheRetroRocketts]

Very well done, easy to understand, short and helpful video. Thank you.

[@elizabethzuzel5016]

Love this! Thank you!

[@xaviermiller5119]

Thank you so much man you saved me a lot of trouble

[@acetvr6]

Is that filter and plastic rings for it hard to get at regular auto part store?

[@916mackamento]

I seen on a post the oil was synthetic 5w40

[@lexiscraig9112]

5w30

[@accidental_relevance]

Very close to the same thing. Would probably work in a pinch. The lower number is how well it performs in cold weather, the larger number is how well the oil performs in warmer. So depending on the climate where you live it could be fine. But I would still go with the 0W40 if possible.

Thank you. I appreciate it very much!

Can I replace the oil filter first then drain the old oil in Mercedes c class w203 year 2005

[@FixItRyan]

I wanted to see how you took your oil filter cap off because I tried to take mine off with a wrench and it cracked. I guess because Pepboy's mad it too tight last time or something...

[@mugs132]

Ryan N glad you asked. I have the exact same issue. It's cracked but under it is metal. I use channel lock adjustable pliers every time.

[@mugs132]

You don't need to squeeze much. Just enough to turn. It only turns a half turn or so and comes off

[@حسنيامين-ه5ص]

thank you very much

How do you clean the oil on the exrtactor?

[@jeffjeffjeff2]

Hi, Is the 220 cdi engine drastically different to this?

[@sarjaquez]

How many quarts of oil do you use?

[@pierrejeanbaptiste2175]

Does it have a drain plug underneath,?

[@unclebenzng]

Yes

[@azzumartv]

How many liter use it for c230

[@djchevvy1601]

What is the oil filter model number?

[@Alboy98]

How many miles you got on your? And have you done any exhaust work?

[@mugs132]

73,000mi. I only drive her in the summer so there's zero rust, and likewise zero exhaust work needed. Let me know what you have though, maybe I can help you out...

[@unknownunknowns]

What is the oil service interval please?

[@ahmedmoosa3734]

Hi! The agents recommend 15,000kms. I have always changed my car's oil every 5 to 6,000kms and have no issues as the engine is always running on basically new oil. Every third oil change i change the oil filter when changing the oil. I did that for my toyota and never had a problem with the engine and i did over 500,000kms!

[@alvinw6777]

Is it OK if pouring 5.8L into a W203 M271 engine?

[@Thomas..Anderson]

Depends which model which year.

[@aaron___6014]

Wait! There's no drain plug on the w203 engines?

[@jaymebarrington135]

+Aaron L yeah it does. No idea why he used a vacuum

[@mugs132]

Absolutely, It does have a drain plug. The method in my video is recommended in the Mercedes manuals, and how Mercedes service does it for my model/year. Plus, dude, you don't have to jack the car, remove the protection panels, mess with bolts etc. It's easier, and proper. Good luck bud

[@tomwer7166]

Unfortunately this engine is not one of the better ones Mercedes built.

[@ahmedrahi9775]

Tom Wer it's a really solid one that is good in most conditions

I can’t give you a thumbs up because your video is in complete. You didn’t do the reset
