Hello mbworld,

I want to change the Oilpan/Oilsealant since my W211 e500 2003 is leaking Oil a bit, also wanted to change the Oilpump.

I DIY allot by finding videos online but on this matter I can’t find anything… I haven’t been able to find any videos or posts regarding the problem I have in forums changing the Oilpump or resealing to Oilpan nothing.

I find videos regarding smaller engines from the w211s but nothing for the W211 e500 which is confusing…

The Oilpump itself I want to change just because of the age of the car now at 174.000km just to get out of maybe incoming headaches.

All help needed.



Can anyone help me with my problem?

No one? Cmon…

Are you sure your oil pan is leaking? Meaning, I think you should clean the engine really well and see if the leak is actually coming from higher up. It can be hard to find the location of an oil leak sometimes, as the leaking oil can spread out around many parts of an engine. I've had oil pans (on other cars) look like they were leaking but it was really a leak from another part on the engine that was running down to the oil pan.
The engine in your car is common to other Mercedes vehicles, so you need to look up information about the engine code, which is M113, not the car. I saw tons of videos about M113 oil pan removal.

I mean even the bolts on the Oilpan itself are dripping oil, of course it could be the engine mounts too since I have a little bit of rough idling.

I have done the right engine mounts few months back and forgot the left side because I had no time.

overall to my question is I haven’t seen any video regarding the proper removal of the components to lift the Engine Oilpan.

And clearly since I have a bigger engine it’s not the same procedure like for 320s,350s etc…
