Oil pan cracked...

Hopefully someone can help. I've googled all over and can't find anything regarding an oil pan for a 2005 c230.

I was changing my oil and when I was tightening the drain plug I heard a pop sound. Low and behold I cracked the oil pan right where the bolt screws in. In my belief I didn't over torque it but maybe I don't know my own strength lol

Anywho is there anywhere that has a DIY writeup on how to remove the pan?

Also I can't find anywhere online that sells it. Is there another name besides "oil pan"?

I tried calling the dealer but they were already closed do to the holidays.

Any help would be appreciated!!!

Thanks for the link!


So does anyone have any instructions or know if the engine needs to either be raised or come out? Pics would be good too
