1999 MERCEDES BENZ C230 KOMPRESSOR OIL CHANGE INSTALL

Test drive car for brief time then inspect around filter cap for leaks and again check oil level after oil has had time to settle. Some oil may have remained in the engine and it may not require the remaining 0.1 quart. Stop at 6-quarts and check after oil has had time to settle.Make sure extractor tube touches the bottom but does not go so far as to curl or you will not be able to get all the oil out.Only the extractor canister requires a vacuum. If you choose to cover filter housing with plastic wrap or similar, be sure it is not sealed tight as you need some air flow in order for the fluid to drain.Otherwise, tube may suction to bottom of engine. Notch the end of the extractor tube with razor knife or other tool that will not leave burrs, this allows fluid to flow freely once it touches the bottom of the engine.(25 N-m), being careful not to cross-thread _ Replace the filter cap and tighten using torque wrench to 18 ft./lbs. _ Add light coat of clean oil to filter cap o-ring to help it seal better _ Add new oil via oil filler cap on top of engine using funnel then replace cap, you may also fill via the filter housing if you prefer _ Once all oil is removed from engine, click lock valve closed and remove extractor tube

_ Oil extractor (I used a 2-gal Topsider by Liquivac from Northern Tool) The Service-A is reset at 13,000 miles, but I think I will do the next oil change at 6,500 miles also.Oil change procedure for 1999 C230 Kompressor (W202) It's definitely not a precision measurement system, until it gets to the end, or maybe I need to wait 1-2 hours between the 0.5 quart intervals. I put in the new Hengst Oil Filter with the four out of five new oil seals that it came with.one seal is not needed, an extra, I guess.or maybe on some applications, it is for another location or something.Īnyway, I put in 5 quarts of Mobil-1 European Formula 0W-40 and the oil level measurement said to put in 2 more quarts.so I put in 0.5 quarts at a time as I checked the monitor each time after waiting 30 minutes between each 0.5 quarts. It pulled out exactly 7.5 Quarts, 0.4 Quarts less than spec but hey, that's close enough for Government Work. Is it really necessary to change the oil and filter so often?.this car will be used by my daughter to commute from home to university and part time work, each and every day.about 50 miles/day.Ĭan you give me some ball park interval mileage that I should be looking at between oil and filter changes?.just need to plan and have the oil and filters on hand, as the filter as you know has to be ordered on-line (I think.can't seem to find any at the local Autozones or PepBoys outlets).Ĭlick to expand.Well, it's done.my FIRST Oil and Oil Filter change using a Pneumatic Fluid Extractor. My question is, I see where many folks are changing their oil and filter at intervals of 3K to 5K Miles although the Service-A shows like 13K Miles on a reset. So I am going to change the oil and filter today.the car has 144K Miles on it but the car is in excellent shape and runs outstanding. I am totally new to the C240 (2005) and Mercedes for that matter.anyway, I have purchased the recommended and previously used by the local Mercedes dealership for the entire life of this car by the previous owner, Mobil-1 0W-40 European Formula oil (Two 5 Qt Bottles), a Hengst Fleece Oil Filter, a Pneumatic Fluid Extractor and the Oil Filter Housing removal tool.
