Hi
I just bought a 1997 E300 210
I don’t know the engine number
My Question is where is the OIL Filter??
And can you recommend a Manual?
Thanks

These are the filters for the 210020 car and the 606 diesel engine

They will be under the intake side of the engine

Under bonnet, looking straight at engine then it is at the right hand side top near windscreen wiper. It is a black plastic looking thing with a large plastic nut on the top. The filter is inside.

Location as dougjoy says, you may need tool to remove (I prefer nylon strap type). Replace by hand only, seal is effected by large O seal, usually supplied with new filter element. No need to heave up tight as there is a lip on the plastic cap.

E300 manual

Haynes don't (the last time I looked anyway) do a manual for this model. Since the diesel engine (although 1 cylinder less - non CDI engine only) and most/some of the drive gear is the same as the W202 C Class, you can by their C Class manual as a general guide.

Good engine for running on Veg oil...
