Q: How do you install the E175HD129 oil filter?

To install the E175HD129 oil filter, follow standard oil filter replacement steps. Focus on model compatibility during the process.

Before starting, park the vehicle on a flat surface. Ensure the engine has cooled down completely. Get a new oil filter, confirming it's the E175HD129 model and genuine. Prepare an oil filter wrench, oil pan, wrench, gloves, and cloth. If working under the chassis, use a jack and support block for safety.

Drain the old engine oil first. Unscrew the drain plug or use a pump to remove it. Once drained, clean the area and reinstall the drain plug. Tighten it to 30N • m torque. Locate the oil filter, usually at the engine's bottom. Use a wrench to loosen the old filter counterclockwise. Place a drain pan below to catch residual oil. After removal, clean oil stains around the filter seat with a cloth. This prevents impurities from entering the engine.

Install the new E175HD129 filter next. Apply a layer of new engine oil on its sealing ring. This improves sealing and lubrication. Align the filter with the installation position. Screw it in clockwise by hand until the sealing ring touches the surface. Then, use a wrench to tighten it about 3/4 turn. Follow the manual if torque specifications are needed, like 15-25N • m. Avoid overtightening to prevent seal damage.

For inspection, add new engine oil within the dipstick range. Start the engine and run it for a few minutes. Turn off the engine afterward. Check for leaks at the oil filter seat and drain port. Confirm no leakage exists. Finally, verify the oil level again.

Q: What is the difference between genuine Mercedes-Benz and aftermarket oil filters?

Mercedes Benz original oil filters come from certified suppliers.‌ Their design follows factory technical standards. This ensures a perfect match with the engine oil system. Aftermarket filters are non-original. They include legitimate parts, recycled material products, or counterfeits. Quality varies among these options.

‌For filtration performance, original filters use optimized designs.‌ Features include specific filter paper folding angles and large filtration areas. Tests show they capture 98.7% of particles over 20 microns. They also achieve 100% filtration for particles over 40 microns. These filters have strong pollutant holding capacity. Under same conditions, they can filter 12 liters before saturation.

‌In contrast, aftermarket filters perform great differently in different suppliers.‌ Low-cost options capture only 65.2% of particles over 20 microns. Their pollutant holding capacity may drop to 4 liters. This risks blockage. Some products also have unstable bypass valve pressure. Unfiltered oil can enter the engine as a result. Or it is produced by standardized high-quality factories.

‌Structurally, original filters withstand 3.5 bar in burst tests.‌ Their sealing strips stay elastic at high temperatures. This prevents leaks effectively. However, cheap aftermarket filters fail at 1.8 bar pressure. Their filter paper may rupture. Rubber strips can soften and fall off. This increases engine cylinder pulling risks.

‌Long-term use impacts differ too.‌ Original filters reduce engine wear. They extend overhaul cycles and maintain oil life. Incomplete filtration from aftermarket filters causes premature oil deterioration. It shortens replacement cycles. Wear worsens over time. Impurity buildup raises maintenance costs.

‌For purchasing advice, new cars or warranty vehicles should use original filters.‌ This protects warranty rights. Older models can consider legitimate aftermarket products. Choose those with national quality certification. Avoid cheap inferior options. Replace them regularly, typically every 5000-10000 kilometers. This balances cost and reliability.

Q: Does a Mercedes-Benz require synthetic oil and a specific filter? 

Mercedes Benz vehicles usually strongly recommend using fully synthetic engine oil because of its precise engine design, often using technologies such as turbocharging and direct injection in the cylinder, which require high temperature stability, lubrication durability, and wear resistance of the oil. Fully synthetic engine oil can better meet these needs, provide long-term protection, and extend maintenance cycles.

The selection of engine oil must comply with Mercedes Benz certification standards, such as the common 0W-40 or 5W-40 specifications, which need to be determined according to the vehicle model and year. For example, models with particle traps in China 6B may require 0W-20 engine oil certified according to MB229.71. Mainstream brands such as Jinmei No.1 and Jia Shi Duo Extreme Care, which have passed Mercedes Benz certification, are common choices, while AMG high-performance models must use Mercedes Benz original engine oil or fully synthetic engine oil that meets high-performance standards.

In terms of filters, an oil filter must be used when changing the engine oil. It is recommended to use original matching components such as German brands such as MAN to ensure filtration accuracy and sealing, thereby ensuring the cleanliness of the oil circulation system and engine performance.

During maintenance, official intervals should be followed, such as routine maintenance including changing oil and filters every 10000 to 20000 kilometers. Specific items should refer to the vehicle maintenance manual and choose a Mercedes Benz authorized service center for maintenance to ensure the use of original parts and standard oil.
