Excellent, informative, clear, detailed, helpful, enjoyable, educational and learned at lot. I own 2 MB’s 450SL’s I need to do actually that on both cars, oil & filter change. Thank you for produced this outstanding and to the point Automotive Maintemance video. 🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸👍🏻🏎👍🏻🚙
Wow, thanks so much for editing all of this! My old man never taught me anything about the car, so I'm glad people like you are out there to help me take care of it! :D
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I guess the spring retainer (washer side) must face the filter, as per manual indications. The small part of the spring must face the canister end, fixed/snaped in the bolt groove. So the washer you placed afterwards does not belong there, since your spring already had a washer. I'm using this order: Bolt end - sealing ring (steel) - canister - spring retainer with washer assembly towards the filter - filter with small opening on the bolt - oring on canister. The cooper washers are to be used depending on the engine you have. Normally, in the end, you get one cooper washer remaining, depending on the pan bolt. This is what I learned, but I may be wrong :) Have a good one!
I thought so too, but do I need to place a washer INSIDE the housing BEFORE I put the spring ? or no washer there inside ? And if I have to place the washer, is it the copper or steel washer which I place there inside ?
You dont need ramps. Just have the driver front and rear wheels on the curb. This will give you plenty of room to crawl underneath and do the oil change
Thank you! We just picked up a 1977 and this perfectly stepped through the process. 😊
Awesome video. Thank you for refreshing my memory. Isold my 75 450SLC in 2000 & restarting my father's 1977 450SL after sitting for 17 yrs.

i love how meticulous you are at keeping everything pristine. I am the same way with my mint '87 420SEL
this color on the 107 looks stunning
Thanks Willem! This color is called English Red and it is very unique and gorgeous on this car.

It is a very good show!! This really helps me a lot.
R 107 FOREVER ELEGANT !!!
I sure wish you made more videos.
job well done going to my 450
Is their a filter catcher that is missing? My 450SL has a filter catcher plate in the filter
Change your own oil and your car will love you forever. Stay away from quick lube places
How do you check the engine oil level? Should the engine be running and idled while checking for level?Thanks for the great video.
jeejay98 engine off, then check the oil level. 👍🍻
Hot or cold?

For the best result. Run the engine for few minutes, switch off engine and 30 minutes later check the oil level.

where can you purchase the oil filter?
My dad have mersatea 560 sl 1988 Benz
