C280 V6 (M112) Engine oil filter

[Grahamcol]

One of the other members helped me out a few months ago with regard to the oil filter element for my M111 engined C200 (It was grober who assisted). I now need to do a similar oil and filter change on my M112 V6 C280. Is it going to be as per the C200 without washers and things? I have a feeling not but if anyone can let me know exactly what the fitting / assembly consists of (Grober ?) then I will feel confident to tackle this job myself. Thanks.

Pretty much the same. The oil filter is in the same area.

Thanks BlackC55

This is for the 320 version of the M112 engine but will be the same. PeachPartsWiki: OilFilter2
The guy uses a vacuum pump to aspirate the old oil but draining via the sump drain plug is fine.

Hi Grober,

Many many thanks. That's exactly what I wanted. Foolproof.

Regards.

You can get a special tool to fit the plastic hex head of the oil filter housing from halfords, as it can be sometimes a little tight and fitting the standard chain remover mauls up the the plastic a bit.

The tool mates with a socket set extension bar.

Thanks for this good suggestion Desilva. Actually I've already got one but thanks again anyway.
