Gave me the confidence to do mine today, one of the air filter clips fell down but managed to find it 😅 Top video, very good instructions, saved me a few quid, thank you.
Very good video, everything explained, with good camera work, showing each and every part of the job as the work progressed. Without the dipstick, now you must save and keep every drop of the old engine oil, and put the exact same qty back in. In the older w212 merc, you had the dipstick to rectify the + or - oil level after a change, but now?????? Have you a vid of a transmission fluid change for the same car? With the 9g transmission?
I'm about to buy an S213 (my dad's that he's had for 4 years), and this has put my mind at rest about how well thought out the location of all these components is. Yes, a lot are plastic (which is a shame in a way) but the procedures seem to be quite simple to carry out. Fuel filter is the only pain, given in my Passat it's under the bonnet (transverse) which was a little easier to do, but the oil filter on this is in a much better location (on the Passat it's under the EGR pipe so a bit of a faff). Thanks for the video, very useful!
I pull the oil filter out and leave it out until after draining the oil pan. Wish they had a top oil dipstick so the oil can be pumped out without getting under the car and undoing all them bolts to drop the covers. Pour the new oil down the oil filter hole - much quicker and the oil doesn't get jammed up on the cam lifters under the oil filler cap. Put the oil filter in last. Great instructions on replacing the fuel filter. To avoid DPF problems use the best oil and change it every three times inside what the recommended oil change intervals are. Recommended intervals are 25,000 kilometers. Don't go near that - change the oil and filter every 8000 Kilometres. DPF and EGR replacement on the latest OM654 can run into 5 figures. Even my dealership service manager told me to change it every 8000k's.
Great video, not easy working under cars. Plastic sump plug! No oil dipstick! Fiddly nail breaking clips & cheap plastics everywhere! Burying the air filter, requiring the ECU to be disturbed, crazy! I drive this model & constantly discover how Merc has lost the plot, for what used to be quality built cars.
Just one comment to make on another wise excellent video, when replacing the oil filter in its location tube, the filter has a little nipple on it,, so I presume that as it has "O" rings fitted, it has a specific placement within its Tube? Its not clear from the video where it goes exactly, unless there's only one unmistakeable location? Thanks,
Own W213 E220d for 4 years now. Few months ago we moved house and local garage I used for service filled my car with 0w/20. Pretty sure all the years before my previous garage used 5w/30. When I questioned the new garage they said that is what Mercedes recommends for this engine🤷 Will call Mercedes dealer tomorrow but when I checked online you can actually find articles recommending 0w/20 saying that’s the best what you can use on that car. What’s your thoughts about that? Thanks
Another great video my man ,its great to get a step by step guide of what to do,especially if your not mechanical minded ( like me ) so I thank you for that,looking forward to the next video keep the great work you do👍
I was thinking to upgrade from my 2016 S212 to 213, but as I do my service myself I will keep it. It´s more servicefriendly than this, and I still have 234hp and 9g-tronic so what benefit is a 213?
Hi, great video.. I have my W213 at the dealer today for service... They almost gave me an heart attack when telling me the net price for this small A3 service.. Final result will be that I in the future will do the service for my estate E220D. I only have one question!.. No need to air bleed W213 E220D after diesel filter change?
Air filter replacement : This video is completely wrong. Only 5 clips need to be unscrewed. All you need is a screwdriver. Doing so will damage the cover.
you replaced the dust filter which is under the bonnet. The particlute filter cabin filter is inside the car under the glove box m8 did u change that as never seen it in the video
At least it's able to breathe and doesn't have water constantly in that location. In my VW group cars (and i'll be honest I love my VWs), the ECU is under the wiper motor, where the drains clog and it's always a wet humid environment. This seems much better. Just about to buy my first S213 estate (E220d), had a Passat B6 previously to this

It's actually so easy once you get the hang of it. I can't believe I've paid paid over £300 every time i got this done in the past.

Thank you, sir! Just what I needed! I recently bought a 2019 W205 and it’s about the same procedure as I can see…

Hi very true what you are saying
Hi Gerry may I ask u a question is there no dipstick to extract the oil from the top do you happen to know?
Thank you

Thanks, and keep watching
Thanks for sharing. Looks straightforward..
Really good video. Show how to do and talk about the important things. Thanks
VERY INTERESTING VIDEO!I ll try on mine shortly
How did it go? 😅
Great video Mr, thanks a lot. Do you have also a video for transmission fuel change for w213 220d.
Excellent video thanks. Sir I have Mercedes C220D automatic w205 model late 2016 not starting no lights on dashboard please can you help.

Hi, they are self bleeding most of the time, but sometimes you do get the odd one that you have to bleed
Hey mate;
Any advice of using liqui moly CeraTec ADDITIVES with mobil 1 5w30 ESP for newer Mercedes’ Diesel engines
Thanks in advance
Thanks for sharing very helpful sir 👍
Great video, thank you!🙏✨️👍
NICE ONE BROTHER I LIKE IT GREAT VIDEOS
Air filter replacement :
This video is completely wrong.
Only 5 clips need to be unscrewed.
All you need is a screwdriver.
Doing so will damage the cover.
Great video
Abi been a very long time I aint seen you, need to call you and see you soon
Hi can I ask where you purchased your fuel filter from please
Hi I bought the filter from eurocarparts
Hello have come u never replaced the fine particle filter
Hi I did replace the cabin filter it's in the video
you replaced the dust filter which is under the bonnet. The particlute filter cabin filter is inside the car under the glove box m8 did u change that as never seen it in the video
Is drive belt easy to change
It's a chain
Dont think he knew what he was doing 😮
Yep he didnt but he managed to sort it out. It requires another level of skill to do this 👍
6.3 L of oil exactly
The one part of the car where you should not put the ECU,,,,and Mercedes puts it there,,,Mercedes,,,,,,quality they are not.
Why they should not put it there?
At least it's able to breathe and doesn't have water constantly in that location. In my VW group cars (and i'll be honest I love my VWs), the ECU is under the wiper motor, where the drains clog and it's always a wet humid environment. This seems much better.

Plastic junk,,,on my Dacia duster the whole undertray is solid steel,,,now that's quality..
Shame the rest of it's junk 😅
Dacia is not a luxury car lol. Who cares what's underneath the car it's what's inside that counts. 😂
Plastic junk,,,,on my Dacia duster the sump is made of steel,,,now that's quality..
