Filter Change after oil change

[packard352]

Out of expediency, I needed change the engine oil on my W203, diesel yesterday.

While I have a new filter, I didn't have the tool required to place over the plastic filter housing. I'm picking up the tool tomorrow.

The oil filter is at the front of the engine towards the top, so easy to get at.

Does anyone know how much engine oil might pour from the engine aside from the old oil filter?

With less than 200 miles on the new oil, I'm not intending to replace the oil now.

Thanks for insights offered - cheers

Very little oil will be spilt and virtually all from the filter.

Just place plenty of paper towels around the housing

Pay attention when you change the large o ring on the cap as to which groove it sits in .
