2018 C63 AMG coming into shop, need information
 

If anyone out there has the WIS for an oil change on a new C63 I'd be interested in trying to get a copy. Looking for torque specs. tia

drain plug one time only, plastic 4 nm
oil filter cover to oil pan 25 nm
capacity 9 ltrs

Thanks for the info. I understand that there is another, smaller drain plug near the front of the pan that supposedly you get another quart out of when drained. I should be able to figure it out.

So Mercedes is using throw away drain plugs now?

Yep, plastic plug with rubber oring near filter cap - p/n is 002-990-20-17. Then you have another drain plug near the front of the engine oil pan.

Except for the fact that it is alive and well, my '81 300SD would turn over in its grave.

Its probably irrelevant now, but here you go.

Thanks, that is what I needed. I'll be doing it Sat morning.

You wont want to look under a Ford truck then, the whole oil pan is made of plastic.

Look at the 725.0 trans pan and you’ll understand why waste is.

Exactly same as the ZF 8 spd boxes, good that aftermarket is now making those pans with removeable filters, dont know about the 9G tronic though.

And it does not end there, I am not brave enough to rebuild these units without replacing most or all of the aluminum bolts that go into magnesium/aluminum (housing) which are literally all the fasteners besides the valve body. I have seen people not replacing them, not using thread sealant and/or butchering them with impacts (which is much worse).

What do you mean by this?

The filter elements and magnets are integrated to the plastic pan. (not sold separably by MB)

That is how ZF does it for the BMW transmissions.
