:0!! Oil filter cap new owner help!
Hi! I am the new owner of a 2015 mercedes benz e400 4matic. Nice meeting you folks! I would like to change the oil, and though it is nice that I don’t have to crawl under the vehicle to access the oil filter, I can’t loosen the D*** plastic oil filter housing. I tried everything. First got an oil filter wrench that was too small. Then got a variable size one that slipped. Now have a 74mm one that is slightly large, put a latex glove around the housing and fits snug but still slips. How do I get it off with damaging it? Also, I plan on using an electric pump to pump out the oil through the dipstick tube so I don’t have to crawl under the car and undo a million screws. Has this been done before? Does it work well?
