E200 remove and install new oil filter

[aalizan]

Hi Guys

I need to change the oil filter in my E200. Do I need a particular tool to remove it?

Any advice would be very welcome

Cheers

Hi Alen and welcome to the forum, if your car is a 210 E200 then you just undo by hand, when you put the new one in, wipe some oil onto the rubber sealing washer, and do up hand tight.

If your car has the oil filter cap with 14 flats like my C280 then I have to say I bought a proper 14 sided socket with a 3/8" square drive which makes life easier. There is a torque setting of 25 Nm (18 lb ft) for my car and with the proper socket you can use a torque wrench to get it right. The socket cost me about £6 off the internet, but good car parts factors sell them too, or less than a tenner from GSF.

Got my filter cap tool at Halfords, less than £10, and very convenient if you want it for this weekend rather than waiting for an item to reach you by post.
