Wheres the oil filter?

[Robby]

A silly question I know, but where on earth does the oil filter live on a 190E? Its not at the top like on other mercs I've seen, and its a spin on filter. I assume its somewhere on the block, but before I mess around getting under it, whereabouts is it?

Please don't be round the back like on an escort. Horrible place to put an oil filter.

Should be on the top at the rear. Remove the air filter to see it.
It's a bit tricky to get at, even worse now that MB supply a smaller filter and you have no chance to get a chain onto it. Also tricky if you do what I do and 'prime' the filter with oil as it will all run out if you're not quick

Cheers for that, oil and filter changed now.
Much smoother, just needs its new HT leads tomorrow.
