The two videos below are both W115s with turbo. One is diametricalbenz's car. ASFAIK, all the turbo engines had the topside-mounted oil filter. However, I don't see the topside oil filter on either one of these. I don't know why.... whether it was changed due to a fitment problem, or what.
Perhaps someone can shed some light on this. I do see where diametricalbenz made a plate... but it doesn't show where the filter is located. My thought was that, if necessary because of fitment of the topside filter into the W115 chassis, I could simply attach my old style oil filter unit right where he has fitted the adapter plate.... which I believe is exactly where mine is fitted on the older engine.
Am I wrong on this? Any input greatly appreciated.
