DIY Oil Change 2013 Mercedes Benz C300 

Yes, my wife loves her's as well.

You are very welcome.

74mm 14

Anywhere in the range is fine. I like to keep mine on the high side just in case. But it is very important not to overfill as that will put undo pressure on engine seals. Thanks for watching the video.

I will Aaron if I ever have to change them out! It looks like a challenging video.

Austin Gibson yes it comes with it. The brass washer you will need to pickup at your local parts store or order on Amazon

The new o-?Ring comes with the filter. Sorry for the late reply, just saw it.

I was just reading this again.. The rubber o-ring comes with the filter. There is just one on my engine. It is the large one around the thread area. Some have two and three o-rings.

Sorry, I let them go after the stroke. I use a suction system now and don’t get under the car anymore.

@@JohnCanFixAnything OK. Thanks. I wound up fabbing up my own using 3 lengths of 2 x 12 lumber. Gives me a 4.5 in lift now.

I will measure the wrench size for you. I do not have a video for the air filter yet but will put that on my list. It is on the passenger side and comes apart lifts up. I have changed my air filter to a K&N right after I purchased the car. Pretty much eliminates changing air filters after that.

John its ok i measured the canister 74.5 mm my buddy said .........these germans just do some ??? stuff lol appreciate all the help

There is no size on the wrench. It is the medium size.

I don't know the exact size. I will measure it on my next oil change. Here is the Dorman AutoGrade Oil Drain Plug Gasket Part # 097-827CD

I pick them up at my local O'Reilly Auto Parts but I have seen them on Amazon as well.

Actually, that is going to be my next video. The C300 filter location makes it perfect for an extractor.

I use Mobil one in all my vehicles. I don’t know about their filters but I’m sure they are good quality as well

Aggie Frazao yes 8mm

10 for the covers. 14 for the drain plug

Norman Ran mine does not use oil

My C300 does not use oil between changes

@@JohnCanFixAnything ok, great, thanks, thinking about getting C300, because Audi and bmw burn engine oil

0W has factually superior cold weather cranking and pumping performance vs 5W (per the definition of the grade). 0Ws go above and beyond the cold weather performance test requirements for 5Ws - and typically use more expensive and higher performance base oil to achieve 0W performance. If you are in a warm weather climate then the 5W would probably be fine but I always recommend you stay with what the owner's manual specifies.

John Montgomery I live in akron ohio I got the oil from the dealer and they gave me 5w40. My car is a 2013 c300.

Perfectly acceptable. I live in Lawrenceburg, Indiana and have the same exact car. The Mercedes Specification sheet states that " Only SAE 0W-40 und SAE 5W-40 synthetic engine oils are allowed !"

JohnCanFixAnything thak you👍

JohnCanFixAnything thank you
