Mercedes Oil and Filter Change (Service A) OM654 220d W205/W213/A238/C238

In this video I show you how to change the engine oil and filter on a Mercedes-Benz E-Class with an OM654 engine. The video includes instructions for ensuring the proper coolant temperature, removing the air intake pipe and oil filter cap, draining the old oil, replacing the drain plug, replacing the oil filter and seal, reinstalling components, and checking the oil level with the engine running.

The correct amount of oil is 6.3l for this engine. The oil filter housing takes 300ml. You'll be right at the MAX line perfectly. I personaly add the 229.52 mercedes oil which is approved for the OM654. Otherwhise great demonstration. Cheers!!

You’re very kind in your comment

You can add C118 to the title, it's similar enough.

On my w212 I used to do intermediate oil changes at 5000 miles just sucking out 5l via dipstick tube and replacing not doing filter... This car is now at 400k miles and running sweet. I bought the W213 and wanted to do the same but no dipstick, this car seems terribly designed to do anything compared to the W212. And can I trust an electronic gauge. I would not buy another one of these cars, very nice interior but terrible design and expensive to fix anything.

We all have own opinion but in terms of design the OM654 is state of the art (it cost over €1bn to engineer!). To me not replacing a €10/$10 filter when going to the “expense” of changing the oil is a false economy? Although early cars had issues with camshaft rockers (fixed in 2018), this engine will achieve similar mileages without issue if maintained.

Dude the W211 before yours W212 dont have a dipstick...my w211 270 cdi is from 2006 and no dispstick

[@SteveN-pw4dj]

@@Tony-fh2wi well my W212 has a dipstick or did I imagine the whole process of sucking out oil through it , my W213 doesn't

[@SteveN-pw4dj]

@@mercedes_and_more The service interval on my W213 OM654 is about 16000 miles, I don't trust oil to last that long, but the filter yes... Putting 5 liters in every 5000 miles and changing filter at 15000 did very well on my W212, well actually its an S212 estate.

Great video. Thankyou

not a good oil!

[@mercedes_and_more]

It meets the required specification laid down by Mercedes. I am paying for the oil not the brand marketing

[@yalcincin1455]

@@mercedes_and_more It would not be worth filling my engine with such a no-name oil. No values for viscosity standards. But it's your car, you can put anything in it!

@@yalcincin1455 just so that you are aware, it is actually made by Total Lubricants. Very small French firm with OE supplier status to PSA (and others).
