One of the o-rings that comes with the new filter is to replace the one on the dipstick. Also it's a lot faster to pour the new oil into the hole where the filter goes

I have a cl550 v8 m273, I like to see how maintenance is done on this engine/vehicle. Thanks for your videos!

[@AUTOdidact77]

Thank YOU for watching!

[@hnmaurya]

Love the crisp editing and camerawork. Thank you for this video. Im a new owner of a w211 and this helped me a lot.

[@AUTOdidact77]

Thanks a lot, also for watching 👍

[@AUTOdidact77]

Thanks, my best editing within years I guess 😇

I changed my oil(Mobil 1 20w-50) and oil filter(Hengst fleece) on my 2009 SL550 with AMG package. Did it at 15k miles. Car currently has 18,200 miles. Use a copper o-ring on the drain plug. Torque to specs.

[@jessegreen501]

Excellent video thank you for posting. I have the same model with the 5.5v8 i was wondering what the torque specs are for the oil filter and drain plug?

[@AUTOdidact77]

Thanks for watching! Oil Filter: 25 Nm (as written on the cap) Drain Plug: around 30 Nm

@@AUTOdidact77 thanks mate I think I may need to replace pcv valve as bit of smoke on start up only occasionally not consistent

[@TrueZawmbee]

​@@jessegreen501if that's the one in the back of the engine do it asap. If oil leaks onto the O2 sensor below it could ruin it and cause misfires and even foul up your spark plugs. Here's hoping you already fixed it!

[@stefangrecea9945]

Good👍 When will You start to work on the Jag?

[@AUTOdidact77]

I hope I´ll find time this week 😇 Thanks for watching!

[@marcelcovaci9922]

What engine is this? Looking at the rims they are for E350 Sport. Is this a V8? Oh, I just read the description, it is a V8😁. I’m thinking I’ll get one if I find one at a good price and without the airmatic suspension

[@AUTOdidact77]

Actually it´s the 5.5, the biggest non-AMG engine Mercedes has (and will) ever put into an E-Class 😁 I doubt if the W211 V8 was available without Airmatic... Had a steady malfunction (car was very hard, almost undriveable) a year ago btw and engine misfires as well, BUT luckily all that was only caused by a weak battery. Thanks for watching!

[@3613jeremy]

I didn't know you could lift on that center part

[@AUTOdidact77]

Actually that´s the only way not to crack the connectors towards the air filter housing 😉

[@3613jeremy]

@@AUTOdidact77 I was talking about the floor jack lift point I used a jack on each side it never dawned on me that little center part would be safe to lift from

[@user-bk2zj1rd4c]

is this motor reliable looking for it in clk209 2008-2009

[@AUTOdidact77]

At least the infamous timing chain sprocket shouldn´t be an issue any more on those newer models, but be aware that you will need to replace the intake manifold one day (if it hasn´t been done already) - the flaps inside there will definately brake, get sucked in and potentially destroy the engine.

[@user-bk2zj1rd4c]

thank you for answer ! so you say its good to change intake manifold before it happens ?@@AUTOdidact77

[@carloscastiano]

What is the oil filter cap remover called. And what size or fit do i need. S550 2010 w221 273

[@AUTOdidact77]

I would call it an oil filter cap wrench - size is 74/14 (74 mm diameter, 14 edges).

[@carloscastiano]

@AUTOdidact77 thanks man

[@martinrkrs]

I have the W212 chassis with the same engine. In order to have the max on the dipstick, I had to put 9.5 litters. What is your oil capacity to Max?

[@AUTOdidact77]

Honestly I always stop halfway between min and max, otherwise the engine can easily be overfilled due to oil dilution (fuel or water). This equals the "official" capacity of 8.5 l btw. Some oil always remains in the engine, so I always end up adding 8.2 or 8.3 l. If your total capacity is 9.5 l, mine will be as well.

[@ImNuhxy]

What oil was used?

[@AUTOdidact77]

A 229.5 spec 5W40 (Shell Helix Ultra). Thanks for watching!

[@ImNuhxy]

@@AUTOdidact77 is 0w40 a better one to use? It's also a 229.5

[@AUTOdidact77]

@@ImNuhxy It's equally good I would say. The previous owner also used 5W, so I continued doing so. On an older car as mine I would be a little concerned of higher oil consumption after changing to a "thinner" oil. In a really cold environment 0W may be even better of course.

[@ImNuhxy]

@@AUTOdidact77 well I'm in California, so I'll probably us a 5w as you recommended :) also I have purchased the Mobil 1 M1C-253A filter. It's made from a synthetic material and not fleece as Mercedes itself recommends. Would you recommend me at least only driving on this filter for a couple of thousand miles and changing it ASAP? Thank you for answering my questions by the way. I appreciate the help!

[@AUTOdidact77]

@@ImNuhxy I wouldn't mind using this filter since it's allegedly an improvement over the OE one (and priced higher as well btw). On the other hand you may wanna stick to your intervals and not extend those regardless of the promised longer lifetime...
