oil

In case this hasn't been posted before, anyone with an M276 engine should be aware of the consequences of not using the correct filter. Crazy bit of detail design on MB's part that the engine can be completely wrecked by using the filter from the previous engine version.

I do not have an owners manual so I cannot refer that, but how the hell do I check the oil level on my E55? I've been through the menus cannot see anything. I have done the key to pos 1 and press reset 3 times thing but I am told that's not the correct way to do it? Am I being daft???

A simple question but can anyone tell me how to read the automatic transmission dipstick please ? The instructions say that at 80C the dipstick should read between levels 5-7, ideally 6. However upon pulling out the dipstick the two sides always show different levels, so not really sure which...

Hi guys - quick question. Had my 03 CLK 55 for two years. Used to go through a litre to 1.5 litre of Mobil 1 0-40 every 2000miles. It's now down to 700 miles before I get a message asking to top up a litre. No blue smoke and no leaks as far as I can see. Any ideas what might be causing this...

Just received this from eBay. It's good quality for £3.

My son used to work at McDonalds and as such spent the shift walking through grease and all sorts of bits and bobs dropped on the floor. I'd then give him a lift home and those manky greasy shoes would go onto the passenger footwell carpet as well as the protective floor mat. Any...

Need to give the other half's CLK an oil change soon but don't have a mb oil filter cap socket, what am I googling for?/partnumber maybe? Any help much appreciated :-) Sent from my P6000 Pro using Tapatalk

Hello guys, Just wanted to get back to the Mercedes club again :) So I got my self a nice CLS500 (2005) model with 128k on the clock. Everything on the car works as it should be, airmatic, keyless etc. I know this car has the exact same engine as my CL500 had (same output 306bhp) however ... I...

£13 for 5lts. MB229.31 and 229.51 spec, fully synthetic. Fill your boots. Well, maybe not your boots.

First service on my 2016 E-class (W213)220d. MB Main dealer (who shall remain nameless) collects the car, services it, cleans it and all is good. Next day I am driving with my wife and up pops a message on the dashboard 'To much oil - Please reduce oil'. Oh Dear! so I call the dealer, who says...

Just been given a rough estimate to change the gearbox oil. Over 3 Hours and £300/400 cost. just thinking out aloud, does it take this long to change the oil? Lexus Birmingham. For a LS400.

Hi all, What size of a wrench/socket do you need for removal and installation of the oil filter in a 2004 W211 E270 CDI? Thanks in advance

Right, So i did Worthersee and the ring not so long back, (big thread/pics coming soon im just working through photos etc in my spare time) And when on the ring i was getting peak temps of around 130 Degrees, which is outrageously hot. My RS6 would keep its oil around 100-105 consistantly, my...

What are the tell tale signs that gearbox oil needs replacing. I have a 61 plate C250 S204 (67k on the clock) that I've had approx 3 months now. I sometimes find the gear changing a bit lumpy and not smooth like my friends E220. I don't know the service history of my car (not available when I...

Hi, my w202 v6 has an oil leak which appears to be getting worse. it looks to be coming from just under the oil cooler at the front of the engine. a little plate held in place by 2 bolts. is this a common area to leak and is there a gasket or o ring ? thanks, matthew

I have the above error message appear very intermittently over the last few weeks, the message been "Engine Oil Pressure Low. Stop Engine immediately". The car has been to the dealer and no faults are logged in the ECU and the engine oil levels etc are where they should be. This is worrying as...
