Engine Oil and Filter Replacement

Model: Mercedes Classe E W211 - Years 2002-2009
Part: Oil filter

Lift the vehicle and secure it with appropriate jack stands to prevent it from falling. The necessary tools are a ratchet wrench, a set of combination wrenches, an oil cartridge, a drain pan, and a filter wrench. Start by removing the engine protection cover by unscrewing the four bolts. Position the drain pan under the engine to collect the oil. Unscrew the oil drain plug on the oil pan and let it drain. Using a square wrench and the appropriate tool, unscrew the filter and remove the cartridge. Replace the used filter cartridge with a new one, but first clean the inside of the filter, then reassemble the filter. Also replace the copper gasket on the oil drain plug and the one on the filter. Close the oil drain plug, reassemble the oil filter, and refill with new oil, checking the level with the dipstick. Do not dispose of used oil in the environment; take it to designated collection centers.
