I4 Emira Turbo/AMG DIY oil changes?

[Madimira]

Beautiful, thanks for the write-up!

Just wondering if you noticed any brand names or part numbers indicated on the original filter that came with the engine? I'm assuming the original filter was a Mercedes branded part?

Good idea.
The original says "AMG A 133 184 00 25" and Hengst.

I changed my Emira oil at 1000 miles. Took me several methods to remove the oil drain bolt because it got stripped. Eventually got it off by sawing a slit on the head, then used chisel and hammer to break it loose. I replaced it with a drain valve, so now I only need a wrench for the oil filter housing.

Question on oil level dash showing ..
Coming home with just 200 miles on I4
Oil level said 5.4 OK but showed .....0.8 below Max...
When do you add oil at what level ???

Mine went down to 0.8 and I added about 0.5. Seemed to keep it happy
Mine was also just serviced and is telling me its 0.2 and sometimes 0.4 below max, so either the dealership scrimped on oil, or the measuring is a tad vague.

So is this the correct reference? Of the other mentioned before, A1761800800 ? Thank you.

I bought Mercedes part number A176 180 08 00 at the Mercedes dealership. It works. The other info may help you find there same filter at a parts store/online. I haven't done that yet.

A 133 184 00 25 / A 176 180 08 00 both of these part numbers call up the same filter, so yes, it is good to have 2 references.

Just finished my 1k oil change, so easy! Here are some pics, plan about 90 mins. You don't need to remove the diffusor, the metal panel is slid backwards to remove the front from the dovetail, then forward to slide it out. Great news that I cut my filter apart and only minor, small metal flakes.
Tools:
7mm socket
10mm socket
6mm allen wrench (socket-style recommended, easier than using an allen wrench)
Impact drill
27mm short socket (for oil filter housing)
Funnel

Consumables:
Filter + housing o-ring
Drain plug compression washer
7qts oil

And here is the video. Had to super-compress it to be under the max upload size, so I apologize for the graininess.

Sorry, is it okay to put jack stands on aluminum suspension arms like that?

The car weighs 3200#, so about 800#/wheel. Based on the side of the aluminum crossmember, it is nowhere near the limit of that piece of aluminum.

I've seen some pictures of the i4 underside during a service - everything looks very accessible, but I'm with you I would like to see some information too.

Thanks for the tip, do you have any pictures to share?

 

[ck4men]

Great information, thank you. Do you happen to have a photo of the location of the filter?

Thank you Neil, could you please provide a shot of the engine oil cap location?.

I just got my car today with the same problem, how did you fix it?

I have the same issue, could you please share the location of the engine oil cap?
