Changing the ENGINE OIL & OIL FILTER of my Mercedes-Benz E500/ E550 4matic (W211). The procedure relates to any Mercedes equipped with the M273 V8 engine (S550, CL550, SL550, ML550 etc) or its closely related V6 version (M272).

I changed my oil(Mobil 1 20w-50) and oil filter(Hengst fleece) on my 2009 SL550 with AMG package. Did it at 15k miles. Car currently has 18,200 miles. Use a copper o-ring on the drain plug. Torque to specs.

Excellent video thank you for posting. I have the same model with the 5.5v8 i was wondering what the torque specs are for the oil filter and drain plug?

@AUTOdidact77 4 ай бұрын

Thanks for watching! Oil Filter: 25 Nm (as written on the cap) Drain Plug: around 30 Nm

What is the oil filter cap remover called. And what size or fit do i need. S550 2010 w221 273

@AUTOdidact77 5 ай бұрын

I would call it an oil filter cap wrench - size is 74/14 (74 mm diameter, 14 edges).

I have the W212 chassis with the same engine. In order to have the max on the dipstick, I had to put 9.5 litters. What is your oil capacity to Max?

@AUTOdidact77 5 ай бұрын

Honestly I always stop halfway between min and max, otherwise the engine can easily be overfilled due to oil dilution (fuel or water). This equals the "official" capacity of 8.5 l btw. Some oil always remains in the engine, so I always end up adding 8.2 or 8.3 l. If your total capacity is 9.5 l, mine will be as well.

What engine is this? Looking at the rims they are for E350 Sport. Is this a V8? Oh, I just read the description, it is a V8😁. I’m thinking I’ll get one if I find one at a good price and without the airmatic suspension

@AUTOdidact77 Жыл бұрын

Actually it´s the 5.5, the biggest non-AMG engine Mercedes has (and will) ever put into an E-Class 😁 I doubt if the W211 V8 was available without Airmatic... Had a steady malfunction (car was very hard, almost undriveable) a year ago btw and engine misfires as well, BUT luckily all that was only caused by a weak battery. Thanks for watching!

is this motor reliable looking for it in clk209 2008-2009

@AUTOdidact77 10 ай бұрын

At least the infamous timing chain sprocket shouldn´t be an issue any more on those newer models, but be aware that you will need to replace the intake manifold one day (if it hasn´t been done already) - the flaps inside there will definately brake, get sucked in and potentially destroy the engine.

@@ImNuhxy It's equally good I would say. The previous owner also used 5W, so I continued doing so. On an older car as mine I would be a little concerned of higher oil consumption after changing to a "thinner" oil. In a really cold environment 0W may be even better of course.

@@AUTOdidact77 well I'm in California, so I'll probably us a 5w as you recommended :) also I have purchased the Mobil 1 M1C-253A filter. It's made from a synthetic material and not fleece as Mercedes itself recommends. Would you recommend me at least only driving on this filter for a couple of thousand miles and changing it ASAP? Thank you for answering my questions by the way. I appreciate the help!

@AUTOdidact77 6 ай бұрын

@@ImNuhxy I wouldn't mind using this filter since it's allegedly an improvement over the OE one (and priced higher as well btw). On the other hand you may wanna stick to your intervals and not extend those regardless of the promised longer lifetime...
