How to change oil in a Mercedes C230K W203 M271

[@zollotech]

I thought I would do a couple different videos that help people out from time to time. I made this some time ago and never released it. iOS follow-up coming tomorrow.

[@armen7932]

zollotech cool

[@demarcusrobinson3861]

Can’t wait awesome I hope you use my wallpaper I sent you through email

[@Itsrogui]

zollotech is this the same process and liter amount for a 2003 c230k?

[@aurelio3410]

zollotech hi what is the size of the hex. All my Ratchets dont seem fit at all. Need to buy a separate one. Thanks!

[@sirginja8579]

I jus got myself c230k Coupé model 2003 w203 m271, i know i have to do an oil& oil filter change and this vid jus got me the knowledge needed, thanks alot, 1. I now know what engine oil the car runs. 2. No need to remove the oil plug 3. Checking oil levels and reseting the service light. Im not a technician but i really understood everything u said.. Wow 6years later and your video still remains relevant..😅

[@johnh9200]

Truly one of the most satisfying and simple jobs to do. Even the Oil Filter is so easy. Using the extraction method, you don't even need to get under the Car. Complete Brake overhaul done in about an hour and a half, Air Filter, 5 minutes. You could flush the cooling system and replace the Thermostat in about an hour. All those hours add up to about $800.00 at a Stealership and $550.00 at reputable mechanic. The W203 is a great car to own.

[@Elpipiton]

Hahaha 800 bucks? More like 1400

[@chessdude67]

When I woke up this morning I had no plans on watching somebody change their oil! But, I really enjoyed it. Excellent video.

[@mavisbeeswax8136]

I did mine in about 15 minutes, I used a oil transfer pump powered from the battery, so easy , didn't spill a drop and never got my hands dirty.

[@juant5738]

Thank you for this great video. Oil capacity is 5.5 liters (5.8 quarts).

[@Jacr805]

are you sure mind has 6.9 liters and it’s still asking me to add another quart

[@zollotech]

Yes. 6.9 is way too much for that engine.

[@tonyreyes9969]

Your engine oil level sensor could be faulty

[@cigarobsession]

Leave it to the Germans to make something so simple 5 times as complicated as it needs to be lol BMW bikes are the same way! Great vid :)

[@zollotech]

Thanks. Yep, that is definitely true.

[@manuelgonzalezpino3473]

Hi hello, i have a C200 Kompressor 2.006 and the manual say (the oil reference is 5w40 full synthetic).

[@gabrielzanandrea8371]

I have a clc 200 k. Engine looks almost exactly the same, interior looks the same as well. I did the commands on the computer as you showed, and it shows me everything exactly like yours, but doesn’t show the oil quantity. My car has the dipstick.. could it be the reason?

[@nanabobie2498]

So with the extractor pump there is no need to loosing any bolt under your Mercedes right?

[@CORZER0]

This was incredibly informative, thank you!

[@ricardoalvarez533]

You should do more videos of this type of Mercedes there isn’t many out

[@mohamedalnamer7868]

Well thats a new category ! Loved it.

[@AmeenKhan-eh8ol]

I never knew this way to draining the used engine oil. Good one. Please can you point me to the link on how to replace the Petrol and Air filter on a W203 C200 Kompressor? Pls

[@chrisnickels3375]

Good video! Your know-how is superior, and I trust your advice.

[@cityride3210]

Hi I have a question I am driving C200, 2005 model which gives me sign when some sit in front passenger seat and that is SRS Restraint system faulty drive to workshop If u can explain that plz

[@littlebaw]

Excellent video, by any chance you happen to have a diagram for that engine. Would like to know the tear down and part of it, thanks!

[@TheOldnKrusty]

Fantastic tutorial!

[@ericschmidt1987]

I thought I was on the wrong channel lol. Nice I use the same motor oil on my 1 series. The filter is a pain to get to.

[@RickyKennedy01]

Love these w203 videos! Best out there!

[@carleynorthcoast1915]

I could have never imagined an oil change being this complicated!

[@gamerepair2020]

Using a toothpick to remove the Orings is safer because metal can make a tiny notch on the plastic, this can cause the dirt and oil to get through.

[@fattuchi]

Do you need to change the oil in supercharger itself?

[@whlawson5812]

Supercharger oil is best be changed every 60,000 miles even if this was not mentioned in the handbook. The prolonged case is to change it before exceeding 100,000 miles together with PCV valve & hoses and the o-rings for the engine oil cooler. Clean both the throttle valve body. Plan this when doing an annual engine oil change. The reason is that once the supercharger is taken out all other jobs become easier and cheaper than the total price of doing these job individually. Confirm the total price with the workshop before doing this.

[@RaphyRandom]

Would you do the same collation for the oil for the w204

[@jackdaniel9308]

Can you please clarify the engine oil volume. I think you might have been mixing up imperial and US quarts ( which are different).

[@henrysmith586]

Great 👍 video bro super detailed and helpful 🙏much appreciated

[@maxbroden2053]

so good, thank you!

[@cirocapasso]

What socket measure do we need? Thank you

[@simonreeves2017]

Thanks, really good information here. One criticism of MB though - what is actually wrong with a good old-fashion dip stick? Is taking it away an improvement, or just a pain in the arse!

[@zollotech]

It’s something they just did for years. Many of their more recent engines have a dipstick again.

[@simonreeves2017]

zollotech - BMW did the same for a while. I'm old school, so these choices manufactures make sometime baffle me - a dip stick would cost them what, say $2 per car, probably less and just fit instead of the cap. You could then just dip the oil to get the right level at an oil change.

[@RussellScottMusic]

Very helpful, thank you!

[@achacon5652]

Did you know how much torque is going to be in the tension timing chain tensioner let me know if you can help me with that I appreciate that thank

[@khalil6195]

Thanks dude. U r saving my life !

[@daeus]

i have a c320, and thought that the 4 cylinder set up would make it easier but that oil filter set up doesn't make it any easier. but cool, informative video.

[@xavhernandezmorales629]

This vídeo is good.please I need your help .I have a c230 kompressor and. It's indicated. SRS. What can I do. gracias.🍀🇲🇽

[@Enrique240z]

Does anyone know where to check the transmission oil on it any information that you can share about the c230k will be helpful idk nothing about it

[@doctorevilll]

How long does it take to suck all the oil out

[@cricketfreak2010]

Nice video! That's a suprise ;) assume that your Merc is a petrol engine.. for diesel I use Shell 5W 40.

[@zollotech]

Yes. 1.8 liter supercharged petrol or gasoline engine.

[@mkz2278]

How do you clean the extractor after you finished sucking the oil?

[@erickmartinez-fx1pw]

How much oil did you put in the car ? I got one today . Just wondering .

[@zollotech]

It should be 5.9 L

[@OhhBoyItsUrMUM]

Daym I got 0w -30 In mine is that fine?

[@jado690]

I have question do i need to change gear oil Manuel and what about the differential? I drive the car around 300.000km

[@vmontijo]

Hi - great video thank you for posting... the only error is that you got the conversion backwards: 1 quart is LESS than a litre (about 950ml or about .95 litres)... so 5.5 litres will be a higher number of quarts = ~ 5.8 qts... Otherwise awesome video!!! Vm

[@victorlayug4036]

Thank you. How to change the light on the dashboard of my c230 K?

[@TakyiKingdford]

Please do some of the c 203 use dipstick?

[@zollotech]

No unfortunately

[@abayomiabi]

Nice video, thanks Aaron.

[@ninadchodancar7981]

Have you ever top-up your second reservoi ? (it's supercharger oil i guss) it's on the left side of the engine. Let me know you know which oil is used to top up Thanks.

[@enriqueortiz5440]

The reservoir on the left side of the engine is for the powersteering. It should ONLY be filled with Mercedes Powersteering fluid or Pentosin CHF 11S. If it's low you need to find the source of the leak as it's a sealed system and should not need to be topped off.

[@hshalaby90]

Thank you I did it!!

[@alfredoacosta8510]

How do I change the oil on the supercharger or how do I service the superchager

[@acetvr6]

My C230 has over 150K miles; been told to use 5W-20 synthetic Mobil 1, of course. Is that ok to use?

[@zollotech]

It depends where you live, but Mercedes recommends 0w-40 in the manual.

[@tawkirrahaman2022]

interesting video. i like your voice

[@Jacr805]

does anyone know the exact oil capacity? my car has 6.9 liters ? and while i’m driving car displays a message asking for me to add another quart i have a mercedes c230 kompressor sport 2004

Anyone know what is the size of the hex. All my ratchets dont seem fit at all. Need to buy a separate one. Thanks!

[@zollotech]

27mm

[@luismiguel4156]

What about gasoline filter?

[@gianl0ca101]

Uhm... The normal service doesn't only include an oil change, it includes other things too which are specific to every car (its written in the cars manual). So people, please don't only do your oil change, as it is much more than that. e.g.: replacing the fuel filter etc.

[@zollotech]

+Gianl0ca right, that is what this video does not say how to per form service A. It is specific to an oil change itself.

[@snoozeydream9288]

I cant mind the oil drain does this car have one? Please help

[@tonyreyes9969]

This particular vehicle has definitely have an engine oil drain plug. You need a 13mm spanner to remove it.

[@robjennings9565]

You will pump the oil out quicker if you remove the oil filler cap

[@zollotech]

I normally do that. However, I haven’t found the speed of pumping out oil to be any different

[@abdullahahmed5330]

When I have to change the oil ? my car 🚗 is 6.6 quarts It's still good or not ?

[@zollotech]

That’s a little too much. It’s about 6.2 or 5.8. Make sure you don’t overfill it but check it

[@abdullahahmed5330]

Hey Aaron, just wondering is there any need in installing virus protection on a MacBook Pro? I know macs don’t really get viruses easily but I didn’t know if it would hurt or not.

[@zollotech]

It’s not normally needed, but is mostly behavior based. I have never seen anyone get a virus on a Mac, but that doesn’t mean that people that are on site so they shouldn’t be were downloading things that are suspicious would cause that to happen.

[@Grath25]

Alright I mostly use my Mac for school and media. I have never heard of anyone getting a virus on a Mac either but I didn’t know if having virus protection would help or hurt in any way.

[@Gothiqueluv]

Thank you so much! This just saved us a ton of money! :-)

[@Msftfolife]

Thank you

[@MrGiorgius]

Why should it be more then 5.5 if manufacturer says it needs 5.5?

[@zollotech]

Because that 5.5 does not account for the filter. Just check the oil after you’ve added 5 and see where you are at and add until full.

[@MrGiorgius]

@@zollotech I see, i own the vehicle for 2 years and always was adding 5.5 liters, so it actually needs 6 liters according to what you are saying, right? Also my car tends to consume around 150-200 ml on every 1000km, so I add some additional oil every 1000km.

[@Jaylikescar]

Bro idk why I even watched this haha I have a Camry make more tho

[@bobbyworldwide]

good stuff

[@zain670]

nice video.

[@giannisantonopoulos3128]

Oil sump bolt?

[@zollotech]

It’s better to actually suck the oil out then drain it from the bottom. That’s per Mercedes and people have done tests showing that you actually get more oil by using the suction method.

[@giannisantonopoulos3128]

Thank you for your answer.

[@Barkingspider]

Can you do a video of changing the oil in your helicopter?

[@zollotech]

Lol...sure if I had one

What's the hp rating on that car?

[@zollotech]

It’s about 210

[@Beatle1107]

zollotech Close. It’s around 190 to the crank, but if you’re talking to the wheels then it’s around 150.

[@NMH316]

Supercharged??? Or turbocharged

[@zollotech]

Supercharged

[@villageroma]

Pls note that 0-40 aint fully synt. If it aint 5-40 than cant be 100% synt.

[@zollotech]

This is the recommended oil for the car and is fully synthetic according to Mobil 1.

[@gtahackers8564]

Enjoyed

[@stormrider01]

6L is too much. This engine takes exactly 5.5L. Not more. And actually it´s better to drain the oil instead of sucking it because you remove the sludge that is in the bottom of the engine.

[@zollotech]

It’s actually not better to drain it. People have tested that and then removed the oil pan. When sucking it out they got more oil in those tests.

[@roymunson8497]

Aaron your latest video was just taken down. 11.2.5 11.3 follow up.

Suck the oil out dont pull the drain plug to see what kinda crap comes out???? Not cool. I dont trust any type of computer stuff no matter who makes it. Great video though ! The care I got has issues think it has a stretched timing chain ( which the chain and gears look weenier than a kids bicycle) I will try to fix her but.. if that dosent work Ill put a ecotech turbo or a ls swap in it Love the car though. and the price was right.
