r172 oil change

[@Generalusuer]

Changing the oil on my neighbors car. Thanks for this. Helps me get the right tools together

[@maintainersgarage]

You are welcome!

Good job! You just forgot to mention the copper 'crush' washer that goes back on the 13mm drain plug to insure no leaks. Use a 14mm. copper crush washer for the job, it takes a new one every time you remove it. 2 pack for $4.99 @ O'Reillys.....and that is probably the CHEAPEST part you will ever purchase for a Mercedes! lol...

[@maintainersgarage]

Yeah, I found that my wife's car does not leak without using the crush washer. And yes, $4.99 is the cheapest part for a MB!!!

[@westernartifact4163]

[@maintainersgarage]

Yes she does!!!
