I use a thin coat of grease or graphite lube on the large O ring gasket just to make sure (also making sure it is in the proper slot of the filter housing). Changed the oil in my son’s ML 320, closed the hood and didn’t notice the leak until about 3 quarts of black nasty residue oil was running down my driveway.
Close up of drain plug & also what socket size would be handy you could be telling us instead of music playing. I'm here for info not music ! Ridiculous Everything these days has to have music ! Bonkers !
Thank you for the video, what was the oil capacity?

I’m glad my hood was still open.
I would have loosed the canister before draining the oil, it makes it easier to break loose the canister especially if you don’t have the proper tools
