Oil and Filter Change - C Class - W204 - Mercedes-Benz


Oil and Filter Change Time: 1 hour Tab: $60 to $200 Talent: 1 Tools: Oil filter removal tool, 13mm wrench, 8mm socket, floor jack, jack stands, wheel chocks, safety glasses, torque wrench Applicable Models: Mercedes-Benz C350 (2008-15) Mercedes-Benz GLK350 (2010-15) Parts Required: Oil and Filter Hot Tip: Get the engine warm before you drain the oil Performance Gain: Longer engine life Complementary Modification: Flush your cooling system One of the most common tasks to perform is replacing your engine oil. Frequent oil changes are perhaps the most important procedure you can do to maintain and prolong the life of your engine. With the better oils that are available today, the requirement for frequent changes is diminishing. Even though Mercedes Benz recommends oil change intervals that are much further apart than in the past, I usually recommend that you keep the changes under the 5,000-mile limit. If you don't drive your car too often, you should change the oil at least once a year to keep things fresh. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that you have everything that is required for the job. Nothing is more frustrating than emptying your oil, only to find out that you don't have a replacement filter or enough oil. You will need an oil filter kit, a 13mm wrench, an oil filter housing socket, a new drain plug and crush washer, a roll of paper towels, a very large oil pan or bucket, and nine liters of oil. Start by driving the car around, and let it heat up to operating temperature. You'll want to empty your oil when it's hot, because the heat makes the oil flow a lot easier, and more particles of metal and dirt will come out when the oil is emptied. Next safely jack up and support your car. Whether you follow Mercedes recommended interval or like to change your oil every 5,000 miles.

This important sensor tells the car's computer where the flywheel is located in relation to the combustion cycle. The DME takes the signals from both the cam position sensor and crankshaft position sensor, and calculates when to fire the fuel injectors and spark plugs. If the crankshaft position sensor is not operating properly, your car will run very erratically or perhaps not at all. Replacement of the sensor is not as easy as the camshaf...

All of the mounting hardware is considered single use so make sure you order new hardware when ordering the bar. You will need to jack up the car and remove the front wheels along with the under body trays to perform...
