OIL FILTER HOUSING SOCKET

2021 GLB 250. I plan on doing my own oil & filter changes. From what I can gather, it looks like the socket size for the oil filter housing is 27MM.

Can anyone confirm this?

Also, I'm looking for a source for the drain plug gasket. Maybe 5 in a pack for cost savings.

Thanks

27mm is the correct socket. There is a YouTube video of using a 1 1/8" socket but that's actually 28mm.


Try these drain plug rings from ebay:

Thanks for the info. I assume the 14mm gasket is pretty standard across the Mercedes lineup.

It's a very easy oil change. I think I bought the Mobil 1 oil at Costco on sale. The only thing I don't like is the lack of dipstick.
