About to do my first oil change on a 1970 2.8sel that’s new to me...thank you for this. Really appreciate that you did a true running time, start to end.
I've watched a lot of your videos on your 95 F250, and I can honestly say you make some very good videos. Very informed and very in depth. Great videos!
And yes, the best idea MB came up with is the latch that allows the bonnet (hood) to go vertical so you don’t bang the back of your head when working on the engine. Just a pity they didn’t think of it for our W114, W115 models! 😏
thanks. I have the same Mercedes but shes in a worse condition. Im hoping that with in time, I can restore her back. She needed a big tune up but I got that out'a the way now. Now I gotta get it registered, insured, and my licensce.
Add the new oil _after_ you’ve removed the axle stands & set the car on the ground. Add the amount of oil required less 1 quart, start the engine for a few secs to pump it round, switch off & use the dip stick as you add the remainder. The oil dip stick is the best way to check the amount is correct. You don’t want to go over the upper limit.
You could, of course, have put the new filter standing in new oil in a funnel jug or something while you remove the old. That’d saturate the filter and you could simply pour the oil in the engine when you’re done re-installing the filter.
Thanks so much for this video, i was hesitant to work on my 250c but this helps alot. My engine is completely locked up? Any ideas why this might have happend? I think my oil cooler is not working.
is that the original oil drain plug? it has a hex head? on my 71 280 SE, the drain plug has an allen head...i even purchased a replacement plug and it had an allen head as well...
I have a 75 280 with the gas inline 6. Ive heard people recommend using diesel oil. What do you think? Ive also heard it should be synthetic blend instead of full synthetic.
Hi do you have any projects or something close to driver two door Mercedes or any European vintage or classic sports cars I'm interested in buying please thank you
Wow i didn't know you could see the engine working by removing the oil cap lol. How often do you change the atf? Anyways oel should be written öl in german. Good work, it shows you care a lot for your cars, despite your mother damages lol

Thank you! This video was a great help in learning how to properly change the oil and filter on my 69 280se.
Should use gloves really as used engine oil is carcinogenic. Also correct oil is 20- 50 surely on a car of this age
Very useful video explaining step-by-step an oil and oil-filter change, incl. the draining of MB's typical oil-cooler of those days. Much appreciated!

About to do my first oil change on my ‘66 230s. This video helps allot

first 1 hour oil change video ever

Why not use the new washers? That makes sure you get a good seal. You get them in the filter set, as you showed.
not sure...but i think there is a latch on the hood hinges that will allow you to raise the hood almost 90 degrees...

Would everything here be the same for a 4.5

Did you do a coolant replacement video for the Mercedes?

Thanks. By the way, do you know any good websites that I can order parts for the Mercedes-Benz?
what do you think us the best oil for the 1970 mercedes-benz 280se?
Oh they are very useful!
I whack my head on that hood release every time I come up from looking in the left side of the engine bay.

Nefes nefese kaldın pasam
An hour video? Nope
1 hour ? I usually do it in 20min and 5min of it is removing the f** cover under the engine
You are using wrong oil man ! That car requires 20w50 mineral oil not 10W40 semi synthetic.
