    thank you! I just ordered everything.

    I use FCP Euro also. And the life time warranty is awesome. Cost close to $80 for oil change and to mail all stuff back is abt $20 shipping . I feel this is a great deal.
    And your video is fine.
    I have a few GL450 videos myself.

    thanks for the video, very informative. one question: why you use Liqui Molly oil instead Mobil oir that recommend MB factory? im new MB owner and want to be sure to give the best products to my new baby, thanks in advance.

    • @bobbybuilds208

      I’ve been using Liqui Molly for some time and have been really impressed with the results. Also, I am a huge fan of FCP Euro and they recommend these products as well as do the larger MB and BMW communities. It comes down to preference, I guess. Thanks for watching the video and for leaving a comment.

    Just curious why do you add oil to filter housing before replacing drain plug? doesn't it just run out?

      Just buy it. When you go do your second oil change, put the old oil (which you put in during your first change) into the new containers and ship them back to FCP Euro

    When i looked for oil filter for my 2011 gl.. on line it looked different than yours. Mine seemes to have a spire on the end of the filter.
    Did they change filters.
    Is the filter a fleece or paper filter

    • @bobbybuilds208

      I’m not 100% sure of the material used for the filter but it is closer to paper than it is to fleece. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

    use oil extractor pump, and you don't have to lift the vehicle.
    and it will suck out more oil than through the drain plug in this model of mercedes engine.

      Unfortunately, I am home DIY guy and don’t have any specialty tools like an extractor pump. Would be cool to use one and would definitely save time.

      but it only works with certain engines, not all. engines where the dip stick hole goes all the way down to the bottom of oil pan.

      @@charleswilson6721 you need to turn key to acc mode, then press the R button 3 times.
      then the display will show Voltage. then use the buttons on the left side of steering wheel to go through menus and you can reset the service warning by confirming service.
      there are videos on it on youtube if you use the right search words.

    Why, oh why does Mercedes have us change the drain plug with every oil change?

    • @bobbybuilds208
      @bobbybuilds208  4 місяці тому

      I think this helps reduce a change of an oil leak through the drain bolt thread. It’s cheap insurance.

    • @oglaceddrug

      You can get away with only replacing the crush washer.. the drain plug is optional.

  • @seanbailey2298
    @seanbailey2298 4 місяці тому

    Why in the world would they put the drain bolt on the FRONT of the pan. Most people raise the front of their vehicle to do oil changes. This would force il to the back of the oil pan and wouldn't drain out?!? 🤬

    • @bobbybuilds208
      @bobbybuilds208  4 місяці тому

      Agreed. It doesn’t make much sense. Hence the reason to raise the entire car evenly.

      Ouch, that’s pricey. Doing the oil change at home saves a ton of time and money.
