OM654 engine oil change

[Jon Stead]

Hi, I’ve just traded in my 2011 Cd220, wagon for a 2018 W205 wagon with the OM654 diesel engine. Loving the upgraded car so far and getting familiar with what’s what.
I didn’t realise that this engine doesn’t have a dipstick and the oil level is checked via the onboard display. Does anybody know if it is possible to suck the engine oil out from the top to save crawling underneath and removing two sections of under tray? Thanks in advance for any constructive advice.

Unfortunately drain only and only need to remove rear section. Get a new plastic sump plug too.

I’ve just finished changing the oil and filter in my W205, OM654 engine. What a palava. On my previous Mercedes, a 2011 W204, OM651 engine, I could change the oil, oil and air filters, in around twenty minutes without any mess, using my vacuum pump. This one, different story. Get the ramps out the shed, drive onto ramps, jack up the rear and place wooden blocks under the rear wheels, slither around n my back under the car undoing the rear under tray section, undo sump plug, catch oil in suitably sized container, remove and change oil filter, install new sump plug, put new oil in, check for leaks, replace under tray, drive off ramps, put ramps away, pour used oil into old oil cans, clean out the collection container. All in all, a good 90 minutes and the additional expense of a new sump plug. Love the car, not loving the oil change procedure.
