Five years later you and video still helping people. Thank you from Texas. Just changed oil & filter 1982 300D first time. Previous owner for 25 years is a mechanic.

Very thorough. Thank you. I'm a gear head and own quite a few vehicles so oil changes may seem trivial and a "no brainer" but these cars are different to be sure. Just purchased a nice 300SD this weekend. Looking forward to tinkering with it and driving. Peace.

Thank you Jerry What grade do you use 10 30 ?? 15w 40?? Reply please😎😎

[@FirstOnRaceDayCapri2904]

15w40

[@KESYL1]

My Mercedes rides 10w40 oil (producer Lotos) but you can just as well 0w40.

What’s the deal with that filter? It looks completely wrong for a OM617. The filter should have perforated metal for about 2/3 of it’s length, and a paper element at the end. I try to stick to OEM suppliers like Bosch, Mann, Mahle, or Hengst. Not this generic Napa stuff.

[@jrwyak]

That's nothing. You should see the scary filter NAPA sells for the 6.0 ford powerstroke. Scary stuff. I agree, stick with OEM unless there is a special reason to do otherwise.

[@nihonkokusai]

Mann all the way.

[@Mmoustafa99]

Just stick with fcpeuro! They have those o rings included with their filter kits. Mann filter, hengst, and mahle!!!

[@danb37]

@@Mmoustafa99 thanks for that tip! I replaced mine once but it was a goose hunt

[@XRPSwan]

Yes. I noticed that and almost freaked out, considering the filter I bought in Canada was as you described. Anyone have the Mercedes part number for those O-Rings on the bottom? Someone mentioned using the older CJ4 oil, but that is getting hard to find.

[@PositivelyGreat3]

What size are those tires 205 or 215?

[@jpgochoco]

do you drain the oil cooler too?

[@EndofUSA]

Sir, what oil do you recommend? Synthetic or usual dino oil?
