Hello,
I am looking for the numbering chart of the engine cylinders for my 2012 E350 V6 (W212).
Please provide the sequence as seen facing the engine (Left = Passenger and Right = Driver).
Thanks.

cylinders banks
BANK 1:
The #1 cylinder is the closest to the alternator on passenger side.
The #3 cyl. closest to the battery in US cars.
BANK 2:
The #4 cyl. is the one closest to A/C compressor on driver side.
The #6 cyl. closest to brake booster in LHD cars

low maintenance
Troubles for GDI engines come from Bank1 due to sharp HPFP lobes stressing Intake VVT gear under limited oiling.
Be sure to change your favorite oil around 3 to 5kMi, not 10, 15kMi.
