    • We'll be working on my old Mercedes today, changing the Oil and Filter

    • Pop the bonnet, or in USA "pop the hood", in RHD cars, the catch is on the left side next to the door

    • It's two-hands to open the actual bonnet as there are 2 ajar catches on this model - one on either side near the sides of the front of the bonnet/hood

  2. 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Jacking points: Schritt 2, Bild 1 von 3 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Jacking points: Schritt 2, Bild 2 von 3 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Jacking points: Schritt 2, Bild 3 von 3
    • I put my hydraulic jack in the centre of the front of the sub-frame

    • I put the jack stands under the frame/unibody box sections

    • I use cardboard instead of a creeper - more leverage, and easy clean up

  3. 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Removing the drain bolt: Schritt 3, Bild 1 von 3 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Removing the drain bolt: Schritt 3, Bild 2 von 3 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Removing the drain bolt: Schritt 3, Bild 3 von 3
    • I used a 14mm hex or "Allen" key

    • It appears some of the previous oil-changers over the last 40 years did not have the correct tool as there are vise-grip marks on the bolt

    • See the oil flow

    • Check your new filter etc, I used Hengst E117H D07, but last time I used Mann H720X, both kits came with new o-rings and copper crush-washers

    • The oil filter is a cartridge-in-housing type located on the left-side of the engine block

    • I only had room for a wrench/spanner and had to work it a bit before loosening it with my fingers

  5. 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Drain filter housing and old filter: Schritt 6, Bild 1 von 3 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Drain filter housing and old filter: Schritt 6, Bild 2 von 3 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Drain filter housing and old filter: Schritt 6, Bild 3 von 3
    • Before removing the oil filter housing fully, move your catch pan under the area to catch the mess

    • Clean around the housing mounting plate area with a clean-ish rag, I use 2 grades of rag, the super-oily one first to pick up the bulk of the oil, then a cleaner rag after

    • I used a small pick to pull out the old o-ring - also check you don't misplace the washer on the long bolt

  6. 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Clean out the housing and install new filter: Schritt 7, Bild 1 von 1
    • Clean out the filter housing with your rags etc, then install a new o-ring if your kit came with one

    • Oil the new o-ring for re-installation

    • Place the new filter cartridge in the housing and insert the bolt with washer on it

    • Hold the bolt in and thread your hand down next to the block, lucky these old cars have heaps of space to work/see

    • Tighten the bolt down, but don't over-tighten as it's only a cast-metal housing

  7. 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Ensure your drain bolt and filter are tight: Schritt 8, Bild 1 von 2 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Ensure your drain bolt and filter are tight: Schritt 8, Bild 2 von 2
    • Tighten your drain bolt and clean the area around the bolt with a rag

    • Check the area for leaks after filling

    • As you can see, my old filter was a Mann H720

  8. 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Lower the car: Schritt 9, Bild 1 von 2 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Lower the car: Schritt 9, Bild 2 von 2
    • Lift the car up from that front sub-frame lifting area and remove your jack-stands

    • Then gently lower the car so it's level for filling

  9. 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Fill the car: Schritt 10, Bild 1 von 3 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Fill the car: Schritt 10, Bild 2 von 3 1976 Mercedes-Benz 230.6  Oil and filter, Fill the car: Schritt 10, Bild 3 von 3
    • I usually clean around the Oil fill cap with a rag

    • The dip-stick on this engine is next to the spark-plug wires

    • I used a stubby big-mouth funnel

    • I used 20W-50 for this old car, it needed about 5.5L or so

Abschluss

Fresh oil and filter installed :)
