Can tell he's a legit cardiologist due to his clear, concise, methodical way of explaining things. Thorough and to the point.

Really enjoy and appreciate your videos and the work you have done on them. I own a 2006 E320 CDI and now has just over 300,000 miles on it. I get great gas mileage. Last year was on the Natchez Trace Parkway is a 444-mile recreational road and scenic drive through three states. I set the cruse control at 57 MPH. The posted speed limit is actually 55 MPH. I got just over 57 miles per gallon with my car. It's is, as well all know, a diesel engine. While I did not start off with a full tank of fuel, I could have driven the whole thing without stopping to refuel. Again, thanks for your channel. It has explained a whole lot of things about my car.

Man this is 9 years old and still up to date :) just done a full service on my W211 E220 CDI.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I perform my own oil change on my E350. One trick I do when filling up the engine with oil is adding 1 liter of oil through the filter housing. It helps to protect engine at the first start up after the oil change is complete.

I don’t even own this car . I just like watching

Great service video. After watching all of your vids I went out and bought used 2006 e320 cdi. Thanks again.

Great video,didnt miss a detail and thank the young cameraman as well. Got me 1995 S320 gonna give it try.

Thanx Car D. Ologist, for the nice video !!

Thank you so much for the video it was very helpful and explained everything clearly.

Спасибо за отличное видео. Несколько насторожило замечание о необходимости промывки двигателя после слива старого масла. Я побежал менять MAN фильтр на оригинальный. Привет из России

Thanx great tutorial i did service on my w211 280cdi(3200ccm), and everything works like charm...

I have the same car, Wow your engine is nice and clean :-)

Great video, really gives me the confidence to do the job myself. Very brave of you to change the oil in a white t-shirt. And nice pumpkins. ;-)

This is a great video. Thanks so much!

Cool video. Nice to see someone use the correct oil and filter. Most MB cars of this era Mann oil and air filter actually are OE. You can buy on amazon and compare.

Great video it really was a big help ..👍

Great video!

Beautiful car. I want one now.

Best insructive vide i have seen yet on you tube Every thing was expertly covered Spanner sizes, bolt sizes even torque settings were expertly done and camera coverage was A1 Good advice regarding oil and filter purchases Made the job look so easy and good advice re jacking the car etc Will be watching for more

Very informative and usefull. Thanks a lot.

Goooooood job brother.

Thanks for the great videos, i have the same 06 cdi. That oil is discontinued, what are you using next oil change ?

Thank you very much Sir, for uploading these videos.

Dear Mr. Car.D.Ologist, I also own the 2006 e320 cdi and today I performed the oil change by removing the drain plug. I relized that the drain plug thread is in the aluminum of the engine block. Now I owned a Jeep liberty that was using the exact same scheme, drain plug threaded into the aluminum engine block. The user's groups were full of complaints about stripped threads, failed engines etc. And then it happened to me also, after about 10 oil changes. I was able to tap at a larger diameter and install an aftermarket drain spigot (!!!!!!). I would not recommend that for the e320, as long as you have a healthy thread for the oilplug. I believe that even by using a torque wrench the outcome will inevitably be a stripped thread. Therefore, as far as I am concerned, the oil extractor is the appropriate method for oil changes on this car.

thank you soo much

Hello; Fine video and very usefull. I was just obliged to transpose it for my E320 CDI, which is a 2001 Modell. I've 2 questions: - do you confirm that there is no reset button of the following oil change alert for these models ? - accordind to your experience, which are the other operations to do at he same time of oil changing ? Thanks a lor for yout work. Sincerely

How is your car doing? Did you say how often you change your oil?

That oil doesnt come in 4l jugs? theyre always cheaper than 1l

Is the oil change process same on the 2003 models?

Is that an oil that contains detergents for diesel engines, or is it just regular oil for gasoline powered engines?

Hi there. you didn't talk about engine flush. flushing the engine especially a diesel is imperative to stop the contamination of new oil and prevent the build up of varnish on the cylinders also sludge in the sump. Hope this is ok! liked the gear box flush vid was very informative.

also what i would do is clean the the filter housing too with like brake or throttle body cleaner. that way there the housing has no old, dirty oil.

Hello from Australia, Thanks mate, Very informative vids! How can you have this clean basically brand new engine bay???!!! Which products are you using to not cause and damage on electrical components while cleaning the engine bay? I own MB VITO 122 CDI V6, have lots of question if I have your email plz. Thanks in advance

Crush washer size/ Spec?

Are you changing oil at !0,000? Also, by jacking it up on the driver's side you are putting the oil pan at an angle away from the pan drain plug, so you are leaving oil in the pan on the passenger side of the vehicle. Jack it up on the passenger side so all the oil in the pan will flow to the drain hole. Just a thought

Car D.Ologist Thank you for your excellent tutorials. I have a 2005 CDI black on black as well with not even 120k miles. In all of your miles, has your car ever gone into "Limp Home Mode"? Mine randomly does this sometimes, but not always, throwing a CEL which then goes away on it's own after a few restarts and drives. Usually just shutting the engine off for a little while and restarting it takes it out of limp mode and returns full power. It's been doing this for years but not consistently; Sometimes in as little as 10 minutes of driving, but other times I can go hours without any loss of power. Any suggestions or tricks from yourself or any CDI owners? Subscribed!

229.51 oil spec (low ash) is for the newer vehicles with different emissions systems. Why not just buy what this one needs (according to manual) 229.5? You are purchasing online anyways where you can get anything you want delivered to your door. May as well opt for bulk 5-liter jugs of high end European synthetic at less cost than cases of Mobil 1.

Going to pick up a estate car like this next week. is there no dip stick on the om648 ? Cheers from Norway

Why not just dump in the new oil into the filter chamber prior to installing the new filter element ?? saves spilling oil all over the engine when pouring into the small oil filler tube.

Mercedes oil filter cap tool part number It is heavy aluminum, uses a 22mm socket wrench. It has two tapped holes on top and two tapped holes on the sides. 2 machine bolts are held in the top of the tool. A bolt can be transferred (finger tighten) to the side to remove any slop when breaking the cap free. I just use one bolt, positioned it so that it doesn't interfere with anything to the right of the filter cap when breaking the cap free. Drain plug copper crush washer

Is anyone using Amsoil for this car?

Oil extractor vs. draining via drainplug....makes sense to use the extractor if the drain plug screws directly into the aluminum engine block. As is the case in the 2.8 vmmotori turbo diesel engine thats in the Jeep Liberty CRD. What a pile of junk! Numerous complaints about stripped oil plugs. Would make perfect sense to use the extractor in that case. In the e320 it is just a time saver not having to put the car on the lift for a mere oil change. Now on the e320 cdi, the oil drainplug is threaded into a steel oil pan, right??????

There are plenty of 5W30 in the market and at the dealer but I can't find any Mobile 1 5w40 ESP formula M any more. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Shouldn't you use a mesh filter instead of a paper one?

I worked for Mercedes and my dad owns this car. No they don't suck out the oil lol. Don't know where you're getting that. It depends on the dealer itself. Mercedes Benz does not recommend sucking it out. Techs use it save time and make money.

only if all mechanics had MDs

MANN makes that Mercedes filter lol. Same filter just you paid for mercedes name on box. Mercedes does not make filters. Next time look on top of filter and it will say mann 😂😂

Are you in fact a cardiologist? If so, I would recommend nitrile gloves so you don't risk skin cancer, or absorption of nasties through your skin into your bloodstream, causing I don't know.... HEART PROBLEMS?! O_o

You need a camera man.

Lmao, you must be crazy. If you put it on ramps, the car is still on an angle... Put it on a jack and jack it up then put it on a jack stand, it's still at an angle...
