Thanks for the comment. I've had it since September 2019. No issue with it. It's been a real joy to own. Would defintely buy again when I'm in the market.
I got mine in 2019 also it's a 2014 and i got an extended warranty on it for $5k which somehow had me paying $1k+ everytime a service light came on so started doing everything myself. It's a beautiful car and i love it mercedes were ahead of their time with this one. If you have any other videos or recommendations for more services on this car let me know thanks
Nice video, thanks. It's interesting that my 2015 has the dipstick in the front passenger side of the engine and has a different drain plug (with an O-ring, not copper washer). For the used Oil, I just ship mine back to FCP Euro where they refund the purchase price of the oil and filter as they have a lifetime warranty on all parts including belts, airfilters, hoses etc.
You should use torque wrenches. The engine oil drain bolt torque = 30 Nm. Oil filter cover = 25 Nm. Also, you can get a pump for $19 on amazon and not jack it up every time take off the skid plate. I alternate every other(pump vs drain) change to get remnants out
Like yourself, I am used to doing old school oil changes. However many modern cars, including the Mercedes S-Class, were designed for quick top side only service. Using an extractor, ideally you would extract the warm through the dipstick tube w/o lifting the vehicle or removing any of the lower engine shielding.
Normally you would jack the car from the front center jack point(17:59) , then rest the jack on jack stands for safety. But if you are going to jack only one side, it should be the other side of this car so all the old oil could drain out.
What are your thoughts on using a oil extractor vacuum without jacking up the car etc… extracting the oil through the dip stick tube ? I used one on my O5 e500. I also have a ‘15 s550 4matic .
Nice video. The only complaint I have is you lifted the car where the screw is pointing, so unless there's a sufficient negative grade in the oil pan design for all the oil to flow out with how you jacked the car, I would simply get 4 jack stands and jack the car up, having the floor jack in place as a safety measure.
I have suspicions that my Mercedes dealer service department doesn’t always replace the filter based on seeing the color of the oil right after the oil change. Is there an easy way to tell if the oil filter was changed at all without opening up the oil filter canister?
There is no way to tell if the oil filter was changed. The color of the oil should be gold like honey. If you have any doubts, you can always try another dealership.
The O rings comes with the filter. I ordered the Filter online at www.mbdirectparts.com. That is where I get all my Mercedes parts from. Very reasonable prices.
Good video ,just a one question have you warmed up the oil to 80 C so the thermostatic valve in the oil cooler get open ? This way old oil will not be trapped there during oil drain .
Great Video. Just serviced a 2017 S550V4 with the same 4.7L V8 bi-turbo. They used a rubber washer/gasket on the oil pan plug. Is the finish torque 14 ft-lbs for the bolt ? Like to see you do a Plug change with this detail. I'm a FAA Commercial Pilot and "torque wrench tight is the only way that's right" in the air.
You need to remove the second cover from the front. The drain plug should be on the left side above and slightly behind the black plate on the bottom of the sump
@@rambocall9300 mbdirectparts.com, mbpartsworld.com. and midatlanticmercedrs.com is my top 3 websites for parts followed by Ebay. I created a video on where to buy the parts if you want to take a look.
You have to remember this is a Certified Pre Own Mercedes. There are a few things besides the rust that I didn't care about, but I blame the last owner for that. I'm just the cleanup man.
Simplify your life by using a fluid extractor to suck the oil out of the pan using the dipstick tube which extends all the way to the bottom of the oil pan. This is what Mercedes techs do.
@@WayneARobertson pick up a MityVac MV7201 which will have everything you need. The thing to remember is that you only need to create an air tight seal at the top of the oil dipstick tube. Many people make the mistake of trying to insert the tube all the way down but that's not how it is done at the dealer. They use a special connector that creates an airtight seal but the rubber pieces that come with the MityVac do the job just as well.
Great video but I wanted to say Moses called and he wants his tool set back. You shouldn’t leave the tools on the back deck. Lol You’re gonna need a tetanus shot at each oil change.
great Job for us DIY, Tank you
You are welcome!!!
Great

Is it still holding up what’s the update. Did you get an extended warranty and how much did that run you.
@@iRecordOS I never renew the extended warranty because I stay on top of the car in terms of maintenance. The car is excellent condition

@@MindBlowingFaxx I made close to 80 videos, I'm sure you can find more videos. I will be doing more videos in the future
Really enjoyed the video, how long have you had that Mercedes S class and any major problems thinking about buying this or a e450 coupe

What pump you recommend?

Yes I agree. I am aware of that method as well. I guess you can't teach old dogs new tricks.
Normally you would jack the car from the front center jack point(17:59) , then rest the jack on jack stands for safety. But if you are going to jack only one side, it should be the other side of this car so all the old oil could drain out.
Good video, but I wouldn’t get under a car without Jack stands in place.
Thanks for your feedback. Appreciated and noted.

Whichever way works for you, and your comfortable with it by all means!
Extracting motor oil through the dipstick must be a mercedes owner thing.Ive never seen so many replies regarding this.
I really enjoyed this. I’m thinking of getting a S class. To be sure is that 87k miles on the dash?
Yes, that is the correct mileage. You will not be disappointed. Not only is the S series a head turner but it rides nice as well.
Yes it rides very nice got one at 21 and don’t regret it. Just get repair warranty

Where did you get the filter and the o ring from ?
The O rings comes with the filter. I ordered the Filter online at www.mbdirectparts.com. That is where I get all my Mercedes parts from. Very reasonable prices.
Nice video, thanks. Shocked at the rust underneath. Not far away from you, mid Atlantic and there isn’t a hint of corrosion under my cars.
Good video ,just a one question have you warmed up the oil to 80 C so the thermostatic valve in the oil cooler get open ? This way old oil will not be trapped there during oil drain .
Good question. The answer is No.
So do u have to warm up the car prior to the oil change?
Do what?

I have my A&P license in the aviation field. Now I'm in the conputer field. Be careful not to overtorque certain things on this car.
Where is the front lift point? For when you only have one lift and 2 jack stands?
It is located in the middle front. You can check to see what it looks like mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w221/578940-jack-points.html
My 2015 oil plug is in a different location from your 2016 do you know where it is located
You need to remove the second cover from the front. The drain plug should be on the left side above and slightly behind the black plate on the bottom of the sump

What's everyone's experience been as far as reliability on the 15 or 16 W222?
Reliability is excellent.Get the 2016 model or newer
Great video but why u got so much rust bro
You have to remember this is a Certified Pre Own Mercedes. There are a few things besides the rust that I didn't care about, but I blame the last owner for that. I'm just the cleanup man.
It would be easier to extract the oil then jack it up and drain it.
Whichever way works for you is fine. Since I'm old school, I do it the old fashion way.
Simplify your life by using a fluid extractor to suck the oil out of the pan using the dipstick tube which extends all the way to the bottom of the oil pan. This is what Mercedes techs do.
Yes, I saw a UA-cam video do just that about a year ago

You never stick your head or get under a car that is supported only by a hydraulic jack very dangerous
