How many of you actually drain the oil from the oil cooler in your M156?

Well if you car is full at 8.5 qts, then far be it for me to tell you anything different. But it is so much fun, smoking guys who think that modern muscle car is fast.
Now that hellcat is another animal. I got smoked by one last year
But I knew that when I lined up next to him. I just wanted to see how I would fair.

don't end up like the LS boys....adding of an additional quart to prevent engine blow up is normal...our engines use 9.2 quarts with cooler drain, no reason why not to put that much.
so...searching the internet...the C63 manual states 8.5 quarts but the E63 states 9.2? if thats so that makes sense why the new dipstick reads full at 8.5 quarts.

Either way, having too little or too much oil isn't good for the engine. But having the right amount is perfect. If the manual says 9.2 qts, that is the amount of oil that should go in period. You if believe that your car has the wrong oil dipstick, visit your local Mercedes dealer to purchase the correct one. There was a technical bulletin released by Mercedes Benz, talking about a new revised dip stick for the W211 E63. My technician informed me about this last year, which he obtained and installed.

you won't harm your engine with only 8.5 quarts...the only downside is that you may have a low oil notification at some point prior to your next oil change as I did previously. Again...I was hooning my car quite a bit which most likely burned a lot of oil vapor through the PCV system.
i replaced my dipstick with the updated part number and it read full at 8.5 quarts with oil cooler drain. when i compared the two i recall them not exactly matching up marker to marker. don't recall which was which but pretty certain it didn't match up. for me i will continue filling with 9.2-9.5 quarts just to ensure I don't receive a low oil notification before my next service. I haven't noticed any negative effects with that much oil over the past 3-4 years of ownership.
i have a W211.

Hello! Good discussions. I will be changing my oil for the first time on my 2009 E63; have had the car for just over a month. I ordered the Hengst oil filter from FCP, but it only came with the one large o-ring/gasket. They don't sell the other three smaller ones. How often do you all change the other three that are on the oil filter "stick"? FCP doesn't sell the other three, so I'm looking around and see other sites sell the oil filter kit which include all four O-rings, but now trying to find it. I came across the fleece filters which some have said to use, but cannot find the correct part number fleece filter (to include all four O-rings) for the car.
So, which oil filter do you all use; fleece or not? and how often do you change the other three o-rings on the stick? and where do you buy them?
thanks!

but finding them separately is a task; and talking with FCP Euro they don't get changed out often; but not sure mine ever have so I might. For this change, I might just buy a new filter kit that includes them all, but would like to find a fleece one now since others have stated to use the fleece ones and not paper??

I just had my oil changed several weeks ago, along with a new serpentine belt. The Hengst filter, that I used only came with one large o-ring.
And to be totally honest, I don't recall if the M156 required additional o-rings. Oh, and I didn't forget to drain the oil cooler

so changing the oil today, and found out the oil cooler drain hole threads are shredded. Overtightened from the previous owner/shop it seems. But the drain bolt will not fasten/stay in; just keeps turning. great
so need to find directions and order a new one fast and try installing it while i'm on xmas break.
If anyone can point me to good oil cooler replacement pics/directions/video I'd most greatly appreciate it!
Happy Holidays!!
