Thanks for the support! Sadly the Phaeton is saying with my family 1000 miles away and I hardly get to see it now a days :( I will try to make a few more videos next time I visit!
I can only get a little over 5 quarts when I use my Oil extractor/pump. Any tricks on how to get more out of the Dip Stick tube so I don't have to drain the oil from below.
I always drain it from underneath since I have access to a lift. I always do a underbody visual inspection. If you don’t have access I recommend using a oil extractor save you time and headaches.
If you have a trash recycling center in your area you can take it there. For me we have an outside company that picks up used oil since we fill up drums of used oil
You were a little light on oil on that final dispstick check. Vehicle must be level, warm and let sit for five min, then check…don’t just go by what the specs say. It’s nice they went with a steel oil pan so you can remove the drain plug instead of those stupid plastic pans and plugs Mercedes’ put on certain cars. Sad thing is just like a lot of the other Mercedes’ crappy engine designs the camshaft sensors leak oil out of the electrical connectors which wick oil through the wiring harness into the engine control module causing very expensive repairs like new sensors , engine wiring harness and engine control modules which the new replacement parts are no better than the $9,500.00 repair you just paid for. Get this checked by a trusted shop before the car goes out of warranty. They are producing a lot of junk parts which either destroy engines or cause a lot of issues the manufacturer denies to avoid legal actions just to save a few dollars in production costs. It’s really sad how terrible they are building these machines these days especially with their plastic parts and inferior metals on AMG vehicles which are supposed to be a step above……seriously a Ford E 250 van is a step above these piles of junk. They don’t put enough real world testing into their products before dumping them onto our streets in the real world. I work on these machines every day and I can’t tell you how many technicians are disgusted with this product and how bad we would like to kick the engineers in the balls for creating stuff that is not only a nightmare to disassemble and assemble things which in most vehicles Are incredibly easy yet this company decides to make things easy for production and never take into consideration the technicians that need to fix their junk and the owners who think they’re paying for a engineering marvel. Yes they’re paying for an expensive engineering marvel that has no real world testing before realizing the nightmare issues that are just waiting to pop up and deplete your savings account and cause your wife to divorce you just cause you wanted to impress the neighbors who own an equally crappy Maserati or Bentley. Junk, junk, junk. Seriously just go buy a Ford vehicle and sleep well at night. Want more info on decent and crappy vehicles?….ask someone who works on them for a “living.”
If you use official merc OEM parts and keep the parts receipt as proof of purchase, you can do a DIY job under the block exemption law and preserve the warranty
Thank you for the very detailed oil change procedure including the NM specification for tighting those screws.
This is like ASMR for car people....I love it.
I've heard of people paying at $100 and more for an oil change and maintenance service for a Mercedes and this is so easy to do,
Good to see you back. Subscribed for all the Phaeton W12 content back in the day because I thought I wanted one lol

Excellent and detailed video
Nice job, you make it look so easy
All About Cars Is this the same procedure(Using the same part #s) for the GLC 43 AMG?
Thank you!!
Brilliant detailed video.cheers
I have used that extractor pump and it only removes about 75% of the oil in the pan due to design. Do not use it for that purpose drain only
Exceptional !
Hello! I have an GLE 450. The quantity of oil is the same? 7 liters or less?
Why do you need the 8 mm socket with extension for underbody shild? is the extension necessary?
Perfect !!!!!
What washer did you use? what was the part number?
What is the size of the key for removing the oil filter?
I can only get a little over 5 quarts when I use my Oil extractor/pump. Any tricks on how to get more out of the Dip Stick tube so I don't have to drain the oil from below.
Thank you!
Would this be the same or similar for the coupe version?
Is it necessary to use an oil evacuator or should I just drain the oil from underneath as shown?
I always drain it from underneath since I have access to a lift. I always do a underbody visual inspection. If you don’t have access I recommend using a oil extractor save you time and headaches.
Have u installed a racechip?
can you locate the dip stick for the viewers?
Most gle43’s don’t have a dipstick
How the leak would look like?
quick question, how or where are you suppose to recycle/throw away the used oil?
You can recycle it for free at Autozone.
Most auto parts chains will
Let you dump oil in their oil canister in back.
If you have a trash recycling center in your area you can take it there. For me we have an outside company that picks up used oil since we fill up drums of used oil
