How to Change the Engine Oil of the Mercedes A-Class?

Model: Mercedes Classe A W176 - Years 2012-2018
Part: Engine oil

To change the engine oil of the Mercedes A-Class, lift the car with a lift or jack to access the underside of the engine compartment: here you will find the protection panel that needs to be removed by unscrewing its fastening screws. At this point, you can unscrew the oil drain plug, collecting the used oil in a properly positioned container. Once the oil has fully drained, open the hood to remove the oil filter, located next to the dipstick; after replacing the filter, you can insert the new oil into the designated filler in the engine compartment.
