How to change oil in a Mercedes C230K W203 M271 

I thought I would do a couple different videos that help people out from time to time. I made this some time ago and never released it. iOS follow-up coming tomorrow.

When I woke up this morning I had no plans on watching somebody change their oil! But, I really enjoyed it. Excellent video.

Truly one of the most satisfying and simple jobs to do. Even the Oil Filter is so easy. Using the extraction method, you don't even need to get under the Car. Complete Brake overhaul done in about an hour and a half, Air Filter, 5 minutes. You could flush the cooling system and replace the Thermostat in about an hour. All those hours add up to about $800.00 at a Stealership and $550.00 at reputable mechanic. The W203 is a great car to own.

Well thats a new category ! Loved it.

Long time viewer, never commented before. Love it when you branch out, keep it up!

Love these w203 videos! Best out there!

This step-by-step makes it easy. THANKS, Aaron

G’day Aaron, I just love it how you always teach and inform us on everything about cell phones, computers etc and every now and then out of the blue you will teach us how to change the oil in a car. I love your diversity. 👍👍cheers front Perth Australia.

This was incredibly informative, thank you!

I did mine in about 15 minutes, I used a oil transfer pump powered from the battery, so easy , didn't spill a drop and never got my hands dirty.

Good to see a different type of video. Nevertheless, you are the best!

Wow I never seen a video like this from you before awesome

Your voice’s so soothing to ears😅👌

Fantastic tutorial!

Thanks dude. U r saving my life !

Never expect this, but yeah, love it.

Great 👍 video bro super detailed and helpful 🙏much appreciated

Thank you for this great video. Oil capacity is 5.5 liters (5.8 quarts).

Nice video, thanks Aaron.

Leave it to the Germans to make something so simple 5 times as complicated as it needs to be lol BMW bikes are the same way! Great vid :)

This was great!

THANK you for that informative video, I can now tackle my wife's car, I just need a new cartridge filter, and I will use video to help me reset the service feature, thanks again

Good video! Your know-how is superior, and I trust your advice.

Very helpful, thank you!

i was not expecting this video from zollotech. what a nice finding!

thanks so much, perfect video.

Cars and tech and I’ve watched your vids for tech and now this like got the best of both worlds lol

Thank you for this video, I actually dropped the whole 200kg sump guard.

You a life saver sir. Thank you, thank you, thank you

so good, thank you!

Thank you I did it!!

interesting video. i like your voice

So with the extractor pump there is no need to loosing any bolt under your Mercedes right?

I have a clc 200 k. Engine looks almost exactly the same, interior looks the same as well. I did the commands on the computer as you showed, and it shows me everything exactly like yours, but doesn’t show the oil quantity. My car has the dipstick.. could it be the reason?

Thank you. How to change the light on the dashboard of my c230 K?

I thought I was on the wrong channel lol. Nice I use the same motor oil on my 1 series. The filter is a pain to get to.

nice video.

How do you clean the extractor after you finished sucking the oil?

good stuff

Would you do the same collation for the oil for the w204

Hi I have a question I am driving C200, 2005 model which gives me sign when some sit in front passenger seat and that is SRS Restraint system faulty drive to workshop If u can explain that plz

Excellent video, by any chance you happen to have a diagram for that engine. Would like to know the tear down and part of it, thanks!

what oil filter did you get? I definitely have to replace mine soon haha

I never knew this way to draining the used engine oil. Good one. Please can you point me to the link on how to replace the Petrol and Air filter on a W203 C200 Kompressor? Pls

I have question do i need to change gear oil Manuel and what about the differential? I drive the car around 300.000km

You should do more videos of this type of Mercedes there isn’t many out

Did you know how much torque is going to be in the tension timing chain tensioner let me know if you can help me with that I appreciate that thank

Thank you

Enjoyed

Can you please clarify the engine oil volume. I think you might have been mixing up imperial and US quarts ( which are different).

What socket measure do we need? Thank you

How do I change the oil on the supercharger or how do I service the superchager

Hi hello, i have a C200 Kompressor 2.006 and the manual say (the oil reference is 5w40 full synthetic).

This vídeo is good.please I need your help .I have a c230 kompressor and. It's indicated. SRS. What can I do. gracias.🍀🇲🇽

Thanks you

Lol. Zellotech in here)

i have a c320, and thought that the 4 cylinder set up would make it easier but that oil filter set up doesn't make it any easier. but cool, informative video.

Does anyone know where to check the transmission oil on it any information that you can share about the c230k will be helpful idk nothing about it

does anyone know the exact oil capacity? my car has 6.9 liters ? and while i’m driving car displays a message asking for me to add another quart i have a mercedes c230 kompressor sport 2004

Have you ever top-up your second reservoi ? (it's supercharger oil i guss) it's on the left side of the engine. Let me know you know which oil is used to top up Thanks.

How long does it take to suck all the oil out

Thank you so much! This just saved us a ton of money! :-)

Nice video! That's a suprise ;) assume that your Merc is a petrol engine.. for diesel I use Shell 5W 40.

My C230 has over 150K miles; been told to use 5W-20 synthetic Mobil 1, of course. Is that ok to use?

Daym I got 0w -30 In mine is that fine?

Same for an 03 c230?

Hi - great video thank you for posting... the only error is that you got the conversion backwards: 1 quart is LESS than a litre (about 950ml or about .95 litres)... so 5.5 litres will be a higher number of quarts = ~ 5.8 qts... Otherwise awesome video!!! Vm

How much oil did you put in the car ? I got one today . Just wondering .

Thanks, really good information here. One criticism of MB though - what is actually wrong with a good old-fashion dip stick? Is taking it away an improvement, or just a pain in the arse!

Using a toothpick to remove the Orings is safer because metal can make a tiny notch on the plastic, this can cause the dirt and oil to get through.

Hey Aaron, just wondering is there any need in installing virus protection on a MacBook Pro? I know macs don’t really get viruses easily but I didn’t know if it would hurt or not.

Im repairing a 2003 model, What's the tube next to the oil tube Black cap?

I could have never imagined an oil change being this complicated!

Handymantator.

Do you need to change the oil in supercharger itself?

Anyone know what is the size of the hex. All my ratchets dont seem fit at all. Need to buy a separate one. Thanks!

What about gasoline filter?

I cant mind the oil drain does this car have one? Please help

😊👍

When I have to change the oil ? my car 🚗 is 6.6 quarts It's still good or not ?

hard to believe MB recomends sucking it out, doesnt seem like that would get all the metal shavings or sludge that may be on bottom of pan

Bro idk why I even watched this haha I have a Camry make more tho

Can you do a video of changing the oil in your helicopter?

What's the hp rating on that car?

Uhm... The normal service doesn't only include an oil change, it includes other things too which are specific to every car (its written in the cars manual). So people, please don't only do your oil change, as it is much more than that. e.g.: replacing the fuel filter etc.

Supercharged??? Or turbocharged

Dam is that yoshi 1

You will pump the oil out quicker if you remove the oil filler cap

ZoloCars

Hi

Why should it be more then 5.5 if manufacturer says it needs 5.5?

I mean when someone sit on passenger seat

Just got a 2005 c230 k hmm. no dip stick ( one available for 50+ bucks? and the say it is a service tool dont leave it in?) as a professional mechanic for many years not a Benz guy for any means other than 617 diesels all ready not liking what I am seeing. Suck the oil out dont pull the drain plug to see what kinda crap comes out???? Not cool. I dont trust any type of computer stuff no matter who makes it. Great video though ! The care I got has issues think it has a stretched timing chain ( which the chain and gears look weenier than a kids bicycle) I will try to fix her but.. if that dosent work Ill put a ecotech turbo or a ls swap in it Love the car though. and the price was right.

Pls note that 0-40 aint fully synt. If it aint 5-40 than cant be 100% synt.

Aaron your latest video was just taken down. 11.2.5 11.3 follow up.

6L is too much. This engine takes exactly 5.5L. Not more. And actually it´s better to drain the oil instead of sucking it because you remove the sludge that is in the bottom of the engine.

Um..

So you left 0.5L of sludge in the engine.

you can suck the oil out of any car, I guess in some you won't reach it all
