This is the oil filter housing gasket. From what i understand, Mercedes only sell 1, not both of the gasket. They want you to replace the entire thing. There are some plastic component inside the oil filter housing, maybe that the reason. I am not 100% sure. I feel like mine will fine. just give a really good clean.
Transmission mount, just something i have to work on later
I also replace this coolant tank cap as well. The one i had on my car feels too loose. The new one is nice and tight.
This is the correct engine mount
Cant remember which one is the passenger and which one is the driver. Dont think you can screw it up because there are limited length for the wire connection

Thanks for the update! I'm happy to see another ML going strong.
My 2013 ML350 Bluetec is at 375 000 km. Unfortunately, earlier this week, I was involved in a minor colision. An old lady sideswiped me and took out my driver side mirror. The whole driver side front panel, door and rear quarter panel will have to be sanded and painted. I'm waiting for the estimate, I wonder if they'll cut me a cheque and call it a write off since the vehicle is old with a lot of mileage. The estime will probably be close to the value of the suv. It would be a shame really, because I really like that suv. It's running flawlessly and doesn't burn a drop of oil. If it's a write off, I'm not sure if I'll get another W166 bluetec. Maybe I'll go with a gas 2018-2019 GLE400... or maybe the newer V167 gen...
Here's my maintenance sheet for anyone curious.
