2001-2005 C230 Kompressor Oil Change Procedure

• This only applies to 2001-2005 (I-4 supercharged
  engines) or w203 chassis. It might be the similar
  for other C-class models.Tools Needed1. 27 mm
  socket or a crescent wrench2. Small flat head
  screwdriver3. Funnel4. 8mm socket 5. 1/2 inch
  socket 6. Lift Jack7. Oil collection pan
  Optional tools, only needed if you plan to drain
  the oil. If you suck the oil out these tools are
  not needed.Parts/Supplies Needed1. Oil
  Filter (MB Part A 271 180 00 09). My dealer
  provided a new drain plug washer the filter.2.
  Oil (Mobile One 0-40) C230 (I4 SC) needs 5.8-6.0
  quarts.Procedure1. Locate the oil filter and
  slightly loosen it, DO NOT remove it at this
  time. This will allow the oil in the filter to
  flow back to the oil pan. (See Photos 1 2
  below)2. Jack up the car and remove plastic
  engine covers on the bottom of the car with 8mm
  socket.3. Located oil pan drain plug and
  remove plug with 1/2" socket (See Photo 3 below)
  Make sure you have the oil collection pan under
  drain, because the oil will come flowing out
  fast.4. As the oil is draining out, remove the
  oil filter from engine bay.5. Remove oil filter
  cartridge (this may take a little force) and
  three rubber o-rings. Replace oil filter
  cartridge and replace the three o-rings (See
  Photo 4 below) Coat the new o-rings with some new
  oil.6. Install drain plug with new washer and
  tighten to the proper torque spec (24N/m) or 1/2
  turn past finger tight.7. Install oil filter
  into engine bay. DO NOT over tighten! Tight to
  the proper torque spec (24 N/m) or if you do NOT
  have a torque wrench tight a 1/4 turn past hand
  tight.8. Remove oil cap and input 5.25 quarts of
  oil using the funnel. (The reason why you should
  NOT add the entire 5.8 quarts is because there is
  still some residual oil in the engine and it's
  not good to over fill. You can easily add oil,
  pain to take it out)9. After putting in 5.25
  its, turn ignition key to position 2 (radio and
  heater/AC comes on) for 10 seconds. This will
  allow the oil pump to start pumping the oil into
  the empty filter. Then start the engine and let
  it run for one minute and turn off car and remove
  key. 10. Re-Intsall plastic engine covers on the
  bottom of the car with 8mm socket and lower
  jack(s). Steps not needed if user decides
  to suck the engine oil out using an oil extractor
  (topsider or etc.). To suck the oil out simply
  put suction tube in oil output hole (see photos 1
  below) and make sure tube goes all the way to the
  bottom.Check Engine Oil (See Details More In
  Drivers Manual)1. Be Parked on level ground and
  have car stationary for at least 5 minutes.2.
  Turn key to position 2 (radio and heater/AC fan
  turn on).3. Change to standard display (mileage)
  on the multifunction display (computer display
  under speedometer).4. Press and hold or V on
  steering wheel for 3 seconds until "ENGINE OIL
  LEVEL - MEASUREMENT IN PROGESS! CORRECT
  MEASUREMENT ONLY IN VEH. LEVEL" will appear.
  After 3 seconds "ENGINE OIL LEVEL - MEASUREMENT
  NOW" will display.5. Computer will return the
  following messagegt ENGINE OIL LEVEL - OKgt
  ENGINE OIL LEVEL - ADD 1.0 QUART (1.0 LITER)! gt
  ENGINE OIL LEVEL - ADD 1.5 QUART (2.0 LITER)! gt
  ENGINE OIL LEVEL - REDUCE OIL LEVELgt ENGINE OIL
  LEVEL - OK6. Add oil if needed.7. If you get
  "OBSERVE WAITING PERIOD" then remove key from
  dash and wait 5 min. If you get "MEASURING NOT
  POSSIBLE" then repeat steps above.I recommend
  rotating tires after every oil change.Good Luck
  have fun!
