hi,
i need to replace the cracked oil pan for my 1995 E320

just wondering ... there is more than one type and i do not what to choose!

the current part No. is:
R 104 014 12 02 (more oil capacity)
i found this part:
R 104 014 13 02

i bellive both can fit into the engine


1-what do you recommend?
2-more oil means more cooling? more performance? (what is the formulla)


* Engine is M104

thanks in advance

I don't know for a fact but I think one oil pan is for the 4-matic cars and the other is for regular engines. I believe the one in your picture is a 4matic pan, I think those holes on the side are for the front axle shafts.

both have this hole .. it's not for an axle shafts

id get the one with more oil capacity.

that way, youre less likely to run the engine with contaminated oil

Seven quarts is not enough?

in my case i do car mainteneace twice a year. having more oil lets me go past 6000miles with ease between oil changes and no concerns. fortunately for me its 90% freeway driving which is very easy on teh car.
