2016 W205 C180 ENGINE KNOCKING NOISE

Good morning guys,
recently did an oil change on my 2016 W205 C180. Drove for about maybe two days then started to hear a ticking noise while the car was in idle. I thought it was probably injectors or pump because it was sort of a ticking noise. By next evening it developed into a knock that got louder, at tis point i had the car towed to my mechanic.

The engine starts fine, loses no power, no dashboard lights, normal cooling temp and oil pressure.

The knocking noise comes and goes, starting softly then increases and the disappears.

Can anyone help?

I have never had this issue and it was only after an oil change that this occurred. Oil used was the Fuchs brand. Previously I used castrol and mobil 1

Any help would be appreciated. I am attaching a video.

Thank you guys so much!

Very disturbing noise...I would check the newly installed oil filter for installed position and for iron filings

Yikes, what oil did you use? Does it meet MB specifications? https://operatingfluids.mercedes-benz.com/

If there is loss of power and higher fuel consumption, may be Knock sensor
