- How to change engine oil and filter the classic way for Mercedes-Benz. This is done on a E-Class W212 Diesel engine OM651. But the procedure is mostly the same on other engines and models.
Normally I do change the engine oil in my garage, jacking the car up. But because I wanted to get better shots I did rented a car lift here in town for this engine oil change.
Don’t forget to always change the copper gasket/washer. Is really important because if you not change it the oil pan could start to leak. I change both gasket and oil plug is only about 2-3 euro.
Also want to say that’s I have no mechanic degree or something like that, just a hobby mechanic that try to figure out how to repair and service my car at home. I do read the mb documents before how things should be done, and try doing it the (right) way.
But always do your own research before attempt the things you see in my videos. Let me know in the comment section below how you doing the oil change, and which oil you prefer and why 👊
Don’t be afraid to ask me anything you think about this topic, I try my best giving a proper answer.

- Oil filter socket amzn.to/3aFBjnG (Most newer models)
- Oil filter amzn.to/3xnCMc9 (OM651)
Read the description ⤴️
You did it way better than most of the today’s mechanics! You did a geat job. I also recommend you to clean the filter housing cap with a break cleaner befoe putting fresh rings and filter’s itself. Now you and the car can enjoy the fresh engine :)
Thanks for the great feedback! Going to have that tip in mind for the next change.
Thanks for making this. It made changing the oil on my W212 much easier.
I been using a pump to oil last 2 years and it actually removes all of the oil , I was skeptical but it did do the job great and just makes it a lot easier , for years I been doing it the proper way but the pump makes like a lot easier
I wouldn't trust the pump to remove all the grit that settles to the bottom of the oil pan. You may be asking for trouble in the long run.
Me too. It reaches right to the bottom of the pan and draws out more oil than specs (6L vs specs 5.5L). i won't have to worry about change plug or gasket.

Very nice video. Exactly what I needed for my W212 with a OM651. Nice!
Perfect glad the video come to use 👍
I need one of those lifts 🤩
Would be lovely to have in the garage at home. Unfortunately it not working in the garage I use. Many here buy them at home is not to expensive.
Fantastic, I love your work, very informative . Thank you.
Well i dont even know why i Just saw this Video now 😩 good Job as usual
Well done. For me the best way to change the engine oil. Better than use a vaccum machine. Just dont forget change the ring of the screw plug and i like clean the oil filter support before put the new oil filter.
I put oil to the midle level (more or less) and I check the oil level too after run the engine for 1 minute and i add oil to the Max level.
Ya kinda like this classic way. Is not to
much work anyway, and at the same time you can do inspection underneath.
Yess sir I change plug and gasket, is no money to talk about I think I pay 2 euro for that. I did about same before when putting new oil in, but now I pure in the right amount directly. So far so good ☺️
what happens if i don‘t change the ring of the screw plug?
No worries usually don’t happen anything, but it could start to leak there if you have bad luck.
Very informative but oil cap should be open when you drain oil.
Good old mercedes, pretty easy to yourself oil and filter change
Yess is really nice pretty much the same as the W124 and other older cars.
Нет вы ошибаетесь именно на этом моторе крышка пластиковая и когда откручиваешь она ломается то есть трещина и приходится менять всю крышу а её менять не так просто😉
Perfect service
Interesting choise of OE oil. The Mobil1 5w-30 has 229.51 and the newer more strict 229.52 specification. Also the Shell Helix 0W-30 C2/C3 has 229.51 & 229.52. Mercedes uses Shell oils in Finland.
Started to read about oil, which brand that’s are best and things but literally all have different opinions 😬 This oil was kinda cheap I order it from Germany!
Oe oil is cheapest for me in the uk
Thank you! Did my oil change with this video
Very useful
Thanks for watching 👊
@@MB212 i own an w 212 facelift 2015 4matic and its time to change oil and filter's...thanks for sharing
I had 13 years w 210...i did my self all changes...never any problem...just usual oil and filters
Very good car
Very very nice video!
Future changes I may start with the oil extracting thing we spoke about 👍
Grym du är! Kan du visa hur man byter differential oljan?
Great work and clean
Thanks. Actually I forgot to change clothes before going to the gas station with car lift. Pretty sure I did not have any oil on them after it was done. But I had black clothes never know 🤞
@@MB212 That's not bad. It is more important that your new oil is great. And just put your clothes in the washing machine. Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for this video.. 👏👏👏Do you have video for change air fliter? W212
Nice Video!!👍
Вам повезло что этот болт открутился 😂
I like your work 👌👍
Thanks 💯
you have the right hands ;) ))
Great video. Have you inspect oil filter after removing it?
Inspected it briefly and could not find any debris!
Well done, MB212, yr videos are always very nice to see! Thank you! Could you tell us after how many kilometers you change your oil? I think Mercedes says you should change it every 25.000 km, correct?
Thanks for watching 🙏 Mercedes state you should change it every year or 25.000 kilometers what ever happen first. This time I had + 35 days left and + 8900 kilometers so usually I change it after around 15.000 - 20.000 kilometers yearly.
@@MB212 man i think I haven't changed it since forever, you think it is safe to change if i did +150k on my car ? W212 facelift here ☹️
Better to change now then not changing. I would do it ASAP in your case.
@@MB212 but someone told me that I can't, or else i will damage my transmission if i change the oil
I would say opposite if you not change it you may damage the engine in the long run. Are we talking about engine oil still because you mention transmission!?
thank you very much for sharing your craftsmanship. I have a MB e class s212 , but I can't find the gearbox dipstick in the engine compartment, can you point me to it? Kind regards
You need to buy it there is only tube that dipstick goes too next to the oil dipstick
Thanks for this video is very uesful 👏👏👏.. Should be 6 liter or 6.5 liter oil? With oil fliter...
And if put only 6 liter what will be hapen?
6.5 листов
do you havve part nr for gasket and oil plug?
How much oil Liter need the Motor OM 651?
Hello,
Can you please tell me How to put Transmission Oil, i can’t find it the exact location 😪
Thanks.
It's not so easy as engine oil, I recommend to take it to good garage
@@Bronn_Bravil I put transmission oil, by myself one week a go, i put that oil with a pump 👌🏼 Thanks.
MB has such a more complex oil change procedure.
This procedure is mostly the same on all cars when doing the classic way!? Even think is easier then many cars that have the filter under the car. But the mb workshops change oil with extraction device nowadays.
@@MB212 I compared it to Corolla where you don't have to remove anything. Drain plug is besides oil filter and both can be removed in 30 seconds or less. Maybe all modern cars are different. Anyway good job it's always a good idea to change oil yourself to make sure it's done the right way.
Pretty much all cars I have worked on have the plastic cover that’s have to been removed to get access for the oil plug, that’s bit annoying especially when doing it with Jack on the garage floor. But otherwise I feel it pretty easy. Thanks 🙏
It's the same as everything else lol
So WHY didn't you loosen or take off the oil filter before you drained the oil ???
No one does this on youtube.
LOL the oil still turns black like in a 617 Turbo diesel! 3:56 A+ on that fill without a funnel, I can't even hit the toilet that clean! 😅
New oil literally goes black as soon it enter the engine 🤣 I practice to get it right but sometimes it not going 100%
@@MB212 I’ll have to try your side technique of holding the bottle. I also have video coming of me pulling drain plug after doing oil extraction to show the difference. Your videos inspire me brother.
Yess sir try it, nice I going to watch it. Consider to buy a oil extractor in the future, but kinda like the old school way. At the same time doing inspection under the cover. Your videos also inspire me I like the way you show in the beginning all stuffs needed 💯
Why foes the engine need to be 80C°?
I'm just going to change the oil in my W204 OM 651 but I think I'll do it without removing the drain plug. I'm afraid he'll twist in that plastic oil pan. I think I'll do a replacement by draining the oil from the top.
Hi. Dont be afraid. There is a metalic insert in the plastic oil pan for the screw and respect the Torque. Dont forget change the ring (copper)
Go with the way you feel comfortable with. But if you are afraid to tighten the drain plug to much I do recommend to buy a torque wrench, you could actually find a hobby wrench for about 50 euro. But is less messy to drain with a oil extraction device and that’s how they doing at the Mercedes-Benz garage. I don’t know what’s the best way, but I know many old schools advice the drain plug way.
Wass für öl 5w30?? Und motor ist 350 cdi 6 zylinder???
That a was a clean job man. Really nice. whats the mileage on your engine atm?
Thanks! 198.000 kilometers. But hopefully I can trade in soon for a facelift 4-matic 212 with lower kilometers 🤞
@@MB212 I have a 250 cdi 4matic with 400.000 km . It' s almost 10 yo : december 2011 .
I' d like to change the oil by myself but I never was able to find the plug under the engine ! So I always aspire the oil but almost 1 kg remain inside...
In your video I didn' t understand the way you take off the second " under protection " as you wrote that you couldn' t take away four screws .
Thank you for the video. Do you have a article no. for the screw from the oil tank?
A6019970230 I believe it fits most 212 engines petrol and diesel!
Hi, did you had oil pan vibrations while the engine was running.
My oil pan vibrates while engine is on idk if thats normal.
Cheers.

Which year Mercedes ?😊
W212 220 Diesel 2012 year!
Ahh, I see your torque wrench doubles as a breaker bar.....
Is that a rental garage?
Yess we have a lot of them here in Sweden they are called (Do it yourself) and from this company is rented for 5€ in start fee and there minute tax 0,25 euro as long you like. Is really great option, especially for them that’s not have garage at home 👍
@@MB212 if only we had these in the UK!
@@MB212 this is a fantastic idea, especially the use of the car jack, it would have made many of the jobs I did on my W211 so much easier and safer!
@@MB212Hej
Vad heter garaget/stället du hyrde?
OKQ8 Kiruna
Godo Job;
är det samma om Eklass bensin ?
Oljemängd o filter kan nog skilja på modellerna. Men i övrigt är det samma procedur.
@@MB212 okay 👌 tack bror
Looking at this its a backwards step by Mercedes, it should be made easier , So i will use the oil suction method again, shame on Mercedes for making this a dockyard job AND my local merc dealer charges £160 per hour OUCH
My one will reach 250k by Thursday.
Congrats 🍾 Hopefully it going to run 250k more without any mayor faults.
Still on original timing chain?
@@THEDIESELCHANNEL yup
you put 229.51 oil in it. Why not 229.52 ?
MB oil sheet tells 229.51 for my car so therefore I use it.
@@MB212 that sheet is from 2012, we are in 2021 now and there are better oils in the market now, like 229.52. I put it in my 2006 220 cdi and it drives perfectly.
👌🏻🤜🏻🤛🏻

Bro that black ass oil definitely pass due
The new oil looking the same directly 😜
@@MB212lol nice work man keep it up
Ne bu şimdi
Da krieg ich Augenkrebs, wenn ich seh wie die Dichtringe mit Altöl eingeschmiert werden. Und die Ablassstoppe war viel zu fest angezogen. Und ist auch wieder zu fest angezogen worden. 30Nm!!! Mehr nicht.
You really think is going to make any difference to use new oil on them, do you know how much of the old oil is still left inside the engine? I did tight to 30Nm not more!
Für 30NM sah es aber ziemlich fest aus beim aufmachen der Stoppe. Aber Ok.
Und beim Öl geht es darum, dass das frische Öl besser schmiert. Ein Grund warum wir es ja wechseln. Solche Feinheiten unterscheiden den Hinterhofmechaniker vom echten Profi ;-)
Und übrigens, nach Daimler-Vorgabe werden diese Dichtringe eigentlich gar nicht geschmiert.
Yess if not my torque tool is broken, it was tighten to 30Nm last change and this change. Yess but I only state my as a hobby mechanic as you can se in the description of my channel. And you could be happy if the pros in the mechanic place even change the filter when you leave your car there : )

Мне из за слишком натянутого болта пришлось менять поддон. Когда пытался открутить треснула
That's the messiest oil filter change I've seen in my life 🤦♂️
Yah forgot to put the old filter holder in the dishwasher before put new.
@@MB212 Yeah, right. You might have filtered the old oil through a sock and put it back in 😉.
Hehe
