Thanks. I have a Tekton 27mm socket. FCP Euro docs are a big help.
What is the size of the copper crush washer? If it is not included in the oil filter package, what is the part number?

I intend to replace engine oil and filter by myself. Could you let know the torque specs for the oil filter housing cap? Thanks
Plastic filter cap never turn more than the current location. Mark the cap's side with the white paint/ nail paint. And then close till the paint marking. No need of a torque wrench.
- oil drain plug washer.
I recommend just buy a oil extractor manual pump, that I use without opening the bottom splash cover.
Anyway, Copper ( or aluminum) washer in picture.

Thanks for so much information in details. The motor oil is 000-989-79-02-19-BIFU MB 229.5 SAE 5W-40 at a dealer. Which brand of motor oil do you prefer?

You're most welcome : ) I like motul xcess gen 2 api sp, 5w40
Other options include but obviously not limited to liqui moly, pennzoil and amsoil.
Per Fumoto website, the torque value for the valve and the adapter is the same @18 ft lbs. I connected the adapter to the valve at a bench valve (securing the valve body) and joined with a normal torque wrench socket combo. Next, take the assembly over to the oil sump and hand thread on. Switch the socket off the torque wrench to a short extension with a crows foot. preposition the crows foot so that forms 90 degrees to the wrench otherwise your torque values will be wrong. Tighten to 18 ft. lbs. Do not torque to the drain bolt torque of 40Nm/29.5 ft-lb. The material of the adapter is much softer and does not require the higher torque value. I believe the crow's foot is a 7/8" size but you can double check with Fumuto. The crows foot must be 90 degrees to the wrench to deliver correct torque.

If you want to be really slick, get the Fumoto MH-10 connector and attach a short hose to it. The assembly quick connects onto the valve nipple. Point the hose into you favorite recycling jug or anything. No more oil gush and splatter. No messy cleanup possible. MH-10

The stupid yellow drain already broke at 1st installation. The thread cracked when I turn it about 20 ft lb. Garbage. Do not buy or install the yellow aliexpress drain bolt.

EZ/Fumato drain valve does not fit. Returned. And I bought other yellow valve. Not installed yet.

I suggest a Fumoto F106N with adapter ADP-106 and MH10 quick connect hose adapter. Connect the F106N to the adapter on the bench first. Then use a crows foot with your torque wrench in the correct orientation to torque to the oil pan. For an extra touch of class, attach a vinyl cap (9.5mm ID) to the end of the Fumoto valve to keep it clean.
I have this setup on both of my GLC300 and have done at least 12 oil changes between the two vehicles.
I use the floor jack on the pad behind the front passenger wheel to jack the passenger side up. Then, position 2 jack stands at jack pads (under engine and rear passenger side). I attach my AGM Jack Rod to the floor jack as a safety measure. So, I jack up once and it stays until I'm done. Three things would have to fail for the vehicle to lower. Moving on, I roll around underneath on my creeper to zip off those screws with my 90 degree cordless and 8mm hex bit. Connect the quick connect short hose to the Fumoto. Aim the hose into my oil recycling container. Rotate the lever. Go back on top open the fill cap and commence replacing the filter.

I suggested fumoto too but some like a low profile one perhaps.
