All this (work, stop, record to clarify, work, stop, record to clarify etc) AND you're running a shop!? I hope your viewers realize what it takes to do what you do for them! If I said something like this before (I can't keep track of my posts)... it needed to be said again anyways! Thumbs up (as with all your other videos... I'm slowly making my way through them)!
Awesome job on the video. I have the exact same problem, my oil filter cooler is leaking a oil all over. I have the confidence to do it based on your video. You just save me a whole bunch of money. Wish me luck!!
Great vid. I have the same job to to on a 2005 SLK350, but have to swap out the housing as the older version has a pressure relief valve that blows and leaks oil. You can recognise the older type by a black nylon strip near to the bottom of the housing. If that’s leaking then you need to replace the whole unit, not just the seals.
What a great video! I agree with Thomas. Looking at the repair, it looks like it's beyond what I would be able to do in a timely fashion. I wonder, after making internal combustion engines for 170 years, why the materials engineers haven't come up with gaskets that don't degrade and need this kind of replacement. Maybe they don't want to: a lot of money is paid by us schmuks having the shop replace faulty materials. I'm glad I don't own a GL450. I'm just starting the repair on my ML500, it's soooo much easier..
When dealing with belt tensioner, there's a whole where you insert a pin that locks it in place so that you don't have to continue holding it when undoing the bolt that it overlaps.
Thanks for sharing. It would save a lot of money. Did you drain the engine oil and coolant away before you started this job? Do you think there’s a flood of liquids after I remove something if I don’t drain those liquids away??
It's quite a process. Thanks Brian for the video. As from 2017 I suggest you change from How to Automotive to Automotive University.....Happy New Year 2017!
I followed your instructions,but forgot the bolt locations. 2 very long bolts, 2 medium, 1 small,1 very small. can you please tell me where they go? Much appreciated
Hey man question ? Have e350. Was leaking oil from oil filter housing. Bought new oil filter housing and thermostat housing from Mercedes. As I was bleeding coolant system, there is now oil in coolant reservoir ? Any ideas ?
Great resource, thanks for taking the time to put this together. What is typical mileage for needing to replace this seal? So far my only leak is at the cam plug which I'm doing this weekend.
Fingers crossed I don't have to do it for a while! Looks to be right on the edge of what I'm comfortable with. Cam plugs look real easy, and doing oil separator valve just for fun while there! Thanks again!
Aulia Parulian Siahaan i’m glad you like the video. Unfortunately I don’t remember the mileage on the vehicle. But if I had to guess it was around 90,000
Various is 100% right. Also, I did only my oil cooler seal last oil change (as it was all that was leaking). This coming oil change, you guessed it, filter housing just started to leak. However, if only doing oil cooler seal, you don't have to touch the thermostat, idlers, or tensioner but it def sucks working around the ps reservoir.
I am currently on the side of the road my car is spilling oil everywhere in that general area E550 2011 I'm wondering if there's oil lines it's hard to tell right now because there is oil all over the front of the motor
I would recommend towing it to a safe spot. Then I would make sure it has oil and do the best you can to clean it off and start the engine and see if you can determine where the leak is coming from.
@@HowtoAutomotive it appears that the dealer didn't tighten the oil filter plastic housing, I'm thinking of replacing it, it might be dried and loosing up! Lost all of the oil, just added Castrol European full synthetic 5w 40 , started it back up after tightening plastic housing. It doesn't appear to be leaking. It's in my driveway and I degreased engine bay. Going to keep a close eye on it! Thanks for replying!!
Hi! Great video! Look, I am going to replace just the gasket on the oil cooler, do you think it can be done without removing the steering oil reservoir and everything else you've shown here? I will try moving the thick cooling hose down so that it is out of the way, but not sure if I'll have enough space to unscrew the front lower bolt on the cooler... All other bolts look well accessible.
Денис Жуйков if you're just replacing the cooler gasket I believe you can do this job without taking most of the stuff off and I would definitely give it a shot trying to take off his little as possible. Thank you for watching!
I just got all the parts that were attached to the link to Reseal the Oil Filter Housing and Oil Cooler on my 2007 Mercedes E350. Are the steps that i have to follow pretty much the same? If not exact the same? And do you have to change the oil after that ? or just level it by adding some more? Thanks and i really appreciate all your videos and work you do to provide such great tutorials. Thanks
What a pain in the ass I just noticed mine is leaking a lot worse than the one you just fixed . Front of the engine is covered in oil , add oil light just came on my S 550 during next fill up. SHIT!!!!

yes I do appreciate it for sure! I hope the good karma has paid dividends in this person's life. Plus some $ from the affiliate links :)

Good luck! Thank you for watching!
I am not at all familiar with Mercedes but your video made the job very helpful. Thank you
I ended up using an Allan key to hold the belt tensioner, works fine too!
Excellent job explaining EVERYTHING!
Amazing video. Thank you for sharing, you saved me a bunch of money.
Oscar Monge thank you for writing and watching
You're Awesome! I did this today following your video with no issues! Thanks!

Jim Busse you're probably right they don't want to make the gaskets better so they can fix them. Thank you for watching !

About how much would something like this cost? How many hours did it take you?
Dealer quoted me $1400 to do this job with new part today.
I followed your instructions,but forgot the bolt locations. 2 very long bolts, 2 medium, 1 small,1 very small. can you please tell me where they go? Much appreciated
Wonder if a 46mm socket is needed to remove the oil filter housing? Thanks.
Hey man question ? Have e350. Was leaking oil from oil filter housing. Bought new oil filter housing and thermostat housing from Mercedes. As I was bleeding coolant system, there is now oil in coolant reservoir ? Any ideas ?
Was wondering how many hours labor you'd chare for the job?
Lucky for you there's a ton of room to work on. My G500 has very little room to work on which makes this job so much harder than it needs to be
Great video! Thanks!!
Danish Elyas Thank you and thank you for washing!
Great resource, thanks for taking the time to put this together. What is typical mileage for needing to replace this seal? So far my only leak is at the cam plug which I'm doing this weekend.
David Estes I've been seeing them leak around 80,000. Cam plugs aren't too bad to do. I have a video on it .
Fingers crossed I don't have to do it for a while! Looks to be right on the edge of what I'm comfortable with. Cam plugs look real easy, and doing oil separator valve just for fun while there!
Thanks again!
David Estes glad to help. Thank you for writing you watching!
great explanation.. btw what is the mileage of that car?
Aulia Parulian Siahaan i’m glad you like the video. Unfortunately I don’t remember the mileage on the vehicle. But if I had to guess it was around 90,000
What was that fluid that came out?
thank you for your video, do i need to take the oil filter housing if I only have to replace the oil cooler seal?
Its easier to just take the entire assembly off than just actually taking the oil cooler housing off alone
Various is 100% right. Also, I did only my oil cooler seal last oil change (as it was all that was leaking). This coming oil change, you guessed it, filter housing just started to leak. However, if only doing oil cooler seal, you don't have to touch the thermostat, idlers, or tensioner but it def sucks working around the ps reservoir.
Thank u guys ill do the entire thing
I think it's better to remove serpentine belt before remove upper coolant hose

Thanks for replying!!
I subscribed this is great information!
Does the gl420 cdi x164 has the same or different oil filter housing? I can’t find that larger seal enyehere.
Rauno Okas i’m pretty sure it’s a different housing and filter on the diesel.
Is this the same for a 2000 Mercedes-Benz E320 2wd ??
No but it’s similar.
Good explain thanks
Carlos Jimenez thank you and thank you for watching!

can you have the check engine light on because of that?
Oleg Munteanu no just Oil leaks

Oleg Munteanu I would recommend changing the Filter and its the same.
How to Automotive when resealing the oil housing, is it ok if i do it by hand, or it needs to be 14 and 15 lbs and done with a special device?
Oleg Munteanu you should be OK doing it by hand.
can u fix my 08 mercedes? it's making a clunking noise when turning corners left or right..what do you suggest?
Very late reply, but incase anyone else comes across this...very likely sway bar end links as far as common issues go
What a pain in the ass I just noticed mine is leaking a lot worse than the one you just fixed . Front of the engine is covered in oil , add oil light just came on my S 550 during next fill up. SHIT!!!!
Cars Marsd 210 engine 320 v and Jawdzit with water in the dam
just for an oil cooler seal!! Damn
STEEVE DAVID Nicolas i've seen worse.
complicated design
Marcus Follosco that's Mercedes for you. Thank you for watching!
If you think this is complicated, I'm guessing you only drive 70-80 yr old cars.
