Hey guys,

I did some research, I'm going to buy a Mann oil filter and Mobil 1 0w-40 synthetic oil. I found two different Mann oil filters, can someone tell me which one I should buy?

Mann Paper Oil Filter - $5.94

Mann Polyester Oil Filter - $11.47

Also, can someone tell me the correct oil filter cap socket to buy?

Thank you!

Buy the one which is made of polyester.

I can't help you with the socket size for the oil filter, I use a strap wrench. I think the size is stated somewhere in the DIY oil change thread in this sub-forum.

This is where I go to get all my parts. Genuine Mercedes polyester filter. Don't forget to replace copper washer as well. I never reuse mine.

Great! Thanks guys. So polyester filter and copper washer, does anyone know the part number for the copper washer?

Thanks!

Get the oil good and hot, then take your time. It is a great opportunity to inspect the underside. I bond with my E quite a lot during this time . I also like to let it drip for about 3 or more hours before putting new oil in.
