Yeah nothing scary. It's the first car I've had that you have to take off the entire under tray to get to the oil drain plug but that's just a few simple bolts. My BMW just had a small trap door to get to the bolt which was nice but no big deal.
@mikecamera818 i inspected the underaulide before I bought mine and the mechanic popped that cover off simply. I saw how it works. I pick my car up later this week, very stoked for it.
Most oil brands recommend using high mileage oil after 75k miles. I haven't used them on any of my motors (Acura, Subaru, BMW, Mercedes, Hyundai) with less than 120k. If they started burning oil I might try a high mileage oil to see if the extra seal conditioners could help. I wouldn't say it's required to use high mileage oil at a certain mileage. Just my experience.
Hi, this is the same engine as in my E400, the manual says 8L of oil, you’re the second video I see that says 6.9L and the first guy did an oil change on the same car as mine as well, why 6.9L when the manual says 8L ? Same m276 engine by the way.
The user manual for my C450 says 6.9 quarts (which is 6.5 liters). I confirmed this was correct by checking the dipstick after I changed the oil. Easier to start low (~6 liters), check your dipstick, and add a little more oil until you're full if you're still unsure. If you overfill it's harder to drain off a couple liters.
It's best to look in the back of your car manual, for your specific car. The manual for my 2016 C450 says "Use only SAE 0W-40 or SAE 5W-40 engine oils". And whichever oil I use should have the MB-Approval 229.5 on it (written on the back of the oil container).
Thank you for including tool sizes, it helps.
No problem!
Great video! helped my confidence in doing my first oil change on the same car. Cheers!
Glad it helped! Cheers!
Wow, I just bought a C400, my first Mercedes-Benz. Oil change looks super simple!! 👌🏾

Great vid super detailed
Thank you! I hope it had everything you needed.
Nice car...thanks for the video.
Thank you!
Nice job bro. But you could use Fumoto Drain Valve performing oil change.
Thanks, I've never used one but my friends like them too
Awesome video. The Cardinal red is sick. I have the Palladium silver. What's your mileage?
I appreciate it! Actually working on a mileage video because I have a JB4 tuner on mine. I see about 22mpg with mostly city driving.
@Mike Camera so you tuned it and get better mileage? I have a stock c450.
You'll have to wait for the video!
If the engine is about to reach 90k , what oil is recommend to use since it’s considered “high mileage” ?

Hello! how many centimeters high ramp do you use?
My ramps are 6.5" tall (16.5cm). Here's a link.

Is it okay to use 0w40?

Same for a 2019?
Should be it's the same engine. Double check the oil capacity in your owner manual just to make sure.
@mikecamera818 thanks! Considering a 2019 c43 amg!
