i've looked for this and can't find it. early w123 with the single bolt oil filter hold down. friends 240D has low oil pres on startup, thought it might be a bad o-ring...took the bolt off and its completely missing

also i much prefer this design over the later two bolt holddown design. i wonder why it was changed.

I couldn't find anything for a 123, but the 115 has a single bolt filter.

See attachment.

German engineers must justify their existence too.
