2002 ML320 Oil Change

290 Views 3 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  BoatWaco
Hey guys,

just did an oil change in my dads 2002 ml320. I purchased a Mann filter that came with 4 or 5 o rings, the largest o ring is a no brainer as to where it goes however the other ones have nowhere to be installed. When I look at the assembly which holds the oil filter and o rings there seems to be a plastic washer or a plastic o ring. Are the o rings supposed to go over those plastic rings.
Thank you

Welcome - I did a quick search and found some discussions on Mann filter O-rings here: (2) 2004 e320 oil filter oring? | Mercedes-Benz Forum (benzworld.org). While this is not your year or model, they posts are clear that the filter will come with more O-rings than needed. Take a look at the thread I linked for you; I hope it will help you.

Thank you, that helped a bit. The gent in that discussion seems to have the same issue as me, where the o ring is supposed to go has a plastic washer so I am not sure if the o ring should just go over it, thank you for sending this thread to me, much appreciated.

There is a sub-section on oil and filter which may be useful.
The forum these links go to is our sister forum, which I would encourage you to also post your question in.
