Thank you so much for this post. I just finished my 2019 Mercedes Benz GLC300 oil change. It was exactly the same as your video and it was pretty easy. I have done my fair share of oil changes on Hondas and Toyotas and I must say, this was as easy as any. I love the location of the oil filter and how easy it is to access it. And for the first time ever, I completed my oil change without spilling any oil. :) Thank you for thorough step by step instruction. I used the same Mobil oil and 27mm socket from Harbor Freight. I ordered a filter from Amazon and worked great.
I have been an amateur mechanic for 40 years, working professionally for 5 of them in maintaining and repairing autos of nearly every make. This is by far one of the best videos that I have seen on performing an oil change for a MB GLC300. Although this was for a MY 2016, it applies to all model years. Was a pleasure to watch. Reminded me of working on cars with my dad and an old friend of mine who I also used to call "Pops". Meticulous detail, very patient and thoughtful. An excellent reference, which I have saved to my favorites for future use!!! I especially like the part where the instructor (dad...lol) shows you how to reset service indicator thru the dashboard functions - something the dealer is often times hesitant to tell you. 😉 The only thing that I will reiterate here (as this was also amended/corrected by the original author in response to a question posted by a viewer), is that you should always replace the copper crush washer on the oil drain plug before reapplying it to the oil pan. It is very inexpensive and critically important to ensure no leaks "down the road ". As the author states, in a pinch I have simply flipped it over and reused it, but its best to always replace with a new one. If you make friends with your parts guy at your local dealer they may just give a couple to you for free or for a few cents each. If not, you can buy them here: www.amazon.com/dp/B083FH7WH2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_Smm4FbRNXHCGP And here are the factory-grade oil filters as well: www.amazon.com/dp/B00NQYXYLY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_zpm4FbJGSSW81 I have seen other posts here asking for other repairs/maintenance tasks for the MB GLC300. I would also like to see things like transmission fluid/filter change, spark plugs, etc. Thanks again for the effort expended and intent in making and posting this video. I am always amazed and encouraged at/by the way people help each other on CZcams.!
Ok this is the best oil change video period. Quality is excellent, everything is clear and well lit. You explain everything calmly and expertly. Not to mention that's the cleanest drain plug removal and oil filter extraction I've ever seen. Absolute perfection. Very good work my good sir.
Watched again and I appreciate it. No mention of the crushable washers. You can get a bag of them for about $10. They should be used each time for oil change.
You make John Wayne sound like a real ass hole. Great video. Thanks to guys like you there's no need to be afraid to work on these upscale cars. Love my GLC300. they were going to charge me $300 (oil change) plus $400 hundred to replace my spark plugs and air filters. I did it all for under $200.00 and I didn't have to deal with my mother in law. Great weekend :^) Many thanks to you for sharing.
Nice Job. Though not many of us left to get the John Wayne reference. I am going with the 0w 20 in winter and 0w30 for summer also with the MB 229.5 specification. So my wife does not go "What happened to my fuel economy". Though I prefer a little higher viscosity for turbo cars for better heat tolerance in the small turbo passages. So many people over tighten the plastic filter housing and drain plug thank you for bringing it up. Glad this car has a dipstick!
It’s good to see that I am not the only one as meticulous in changing oil. I have always said, whoever buys a vehicle from me doesn’t have to worry. I maintain them very well. My friend I would buy any vehicle from you.
Thanks for post this Video compare most others people video 📹 told us have to pump the oil out.. That very stupid, this video help me finishing oil change and how to reset on oil settings...😃 very appreciated 🙏..
Thank you for this video! I was actually able to do it all as directed. Please make the rest of the B service available. I need to do a few more things like break fluid and air filter? Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for the video, great job. I am getting ready to do my oil change and have a question. With the front of the vehicle up on ramps at the front only, does all of the oil drain out?
ino off topic but u seem knowledgable, how long is the power cable from the battery to alternator? I'm goong to add a thicker cable cant find the length and I want to buy it b4 I take my car apart to find it , thank you
Good video, frickin John Wayne. Lol . Did you end up adding anymore oil? Just wondering because I’m about to tackle my wife’s 2018. Internet searches are quoting 7.3qts.
hello brother thank you so much for the video. i have the same car and it is so new to me. i would like to ask you if where you are is cold state or not. i’m in saudi and the mercedes dealer told me to change transmission oil at 28,000 mile as regular service... i wonder and have concern if any car changes at this very low mileage even though here in saudi. temperature in summer is so hot 118 to 122 F ... i never heard a car to change it as this low mileage is what they say is right? i think it is crazy at 28,000 miles must change transmission oil please as you drive the car we can learn from you how to service it and what we should do...thank you so much bro
Well most of the manufactures recommend replacing the fluid at 30,000 - 60,000 so it depends all on the car brand. Mercedes is a great car but, it is more sensitive than other cars like Toyota or Honda that require fluid change at 60,000 miles even thought it’s not a great idea to let a car pass 50,000 miles with an “old” fluid. It’s better to change your Mercedes fluid often because as I said they are sensitive, but if you don’t neglect them and if you give them proper maintenance than you will have no issues. So changing the fluid at the 30,000 miles is perfect. I hope I might helped you even though you did not ask me but I have some knowledge so I hope this might help you. Enjoy your car sir!!
This is from the service sheet (USA) - Automatic transmission - oil and filter change engine 177 (AMG models) every 30 thousand miles. For engine 274, 276, transmission 725.0, 742.2(hybrid) every 60 thousand miles.
Charlie Bourret The recommendation is to put a new crush washer on every time. I inspected mine and it was in good shape and it sealed up OK probably replace it on the next oil change
This is interesting, Mike. I'll never own a Merc, but why in the heck don't they use a spin-on filter like everybody else? I can't imagine their filter is any better, looks like about the same paper element to me that regular filters have.
Great video- but Nobody ever answers the question 40% of MB owners have: if i can’t change it myself, is it ok to use Jiffy or do i hv to drop my pants and pay the Dealership?

Top notch. The GLC300 will be my wife’s next car, and you just sealed the deal. Thanks, pal and good work!

Cleans the inside of the filter housing....love the attention to detail! Well done

Excellent video. I've always vacuumed the oil out but listening to you, I'll do it the right way
Great video. You saved me a ton of money. Thanks for taking the time and putting it up!
Excellent demonstration. best step by step oil change video i have viewed
You’re amazing great job man keep going,thank you.
Thank you so much.. it was very easy to follow and very nicely explained.
Thanks again.
Thank you so much for your posting. The last part of the video for reset "FULL SERVICE " confiremed procedure is very helpful for dummy DIYer like me.
Nice work bubba. I like the John Wayne warning. Sounds like me talking to my kids! 🇺🇸🇺🇸

I gifted my wife this same car, Very happy with it and just about to do my first oil change on it 🙏 Thanks for the info 👋

Terrific video man kudos and thanks
You're very good and precise step by step, THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
awesome video.. exactly what I needed. thanks!
It’s good to see that I am not the only one as meticulous in changing oil. I have always said, whoever buys a vehicle from me doesn’t have to worry. I maintain them very well. My friend I would buy any vehicle from you.
Thanks, I’m paranoid about it
It does not matter who you buy it from since it is a Benz.
Thank you. I'm going off to do my 2016 GKC 300.
Meticulous and well explained. Thanks so much.
PS. Mercedes even has a wackier transmission fluid change procedure.
I have the exact same vehicle. Great video! Thank you!
Great job! Thanks for sharing!
Thumbs up on the video. Oil filter great detail. I made a video but yours is much better.
Excellent video thanks
Thanks for post this Video compare most others people video 📹 told us have to pump the oil out.. That very stupid, this video help me finishing oil change and how to reset on oil settings...😃 very appreciated 🙏..
The “gravity is cheap” comment I loved 😂💪🏽‼️ bc gravity will indeed get you very far
I enjoy doing my own oil changes 👍👍
Great video.
Don’t forget to go in the dash and reset to counter.
No need to pay big bucks for oil change unless one has $ to burn!
Good money saver !! Thanks!!
Pumping from the top gets more oil out that draining from the plug. Try it then remove the pan. You will be surprised
Thank you so much!❤
Good job 👍
Thank you for this video! I was actually able to do it all as directed.
Please make the rest of the B service available. I need to do a few more things like break fluid and air filter? Thank you so much!!!
I’m sorry we got rid of that car over a year ago
thank you for showing the right way to do it... , i really appreciate this video
Best vid
Thank you
Thank you sir 🙏
Very good nice!
Thank you for the video, great job. I am getting ready to do my oil change and have a question. With the front of the vehicle up on ramps at the front only, does all of the oil drain out?
Could you mind take a video clip for tansmission oil transfer oil and differential oil for us. Thanks.
Do you have a video for GLC 300 replacing spark plugs
Amazing job about everything you have done with this car!is this car a diesel engine ?can you tell us the engine please ,the code engine
Now, can you please tell me where the lighter fuse is located? It doesn't say in the manual.
And, how to reset the service indicator.
How much does oil change run taking it to mechanic I’m thinking about pitching one?
How many miles can you go using that oil thanks
What is the brand of the stands-ramps that you use? Are you happy with them? Why not to use a jack and regular stands? Thank you!
I wish I could change the oil in my glc300, but was told if he dealer doesn’t do it will void the warranty. Is this true ?
Please make a video to show how to change oil for Mercedes GLE350 2.0T 4mattic 2020 model? Have trouble to take out oil filter.
ino off topic but u seem knowledgable, how long is the power cable from the battery to alternator? I'm goong to add a thicker cable cant find the length and I want to buy it b4 I take my car apart to find it , thank you
잘보고 갑니다

Is it possible to open the hood on glc 90 degree?
D What size wrench do I need to take a Mercedes oil filter off
hello brother
thank you so much for the video.

I bought my wife a 2019 GLC 300 in Jan any recommendation on maintenance products or any issues you have found
Hey man I just got me a 19 recently. Any issues since then? I opted for the 45k 3/yr Warranty for $60 more a month. Do I need it?
Do you put a new crush washer on the drain plug each time or can you reuse the old one?
Charlie Bourret The recommendation is to put a new crush washer on every time. I inspected mine and it was in good shape and it sealed up OK probably replace it on the next oil change
5w-40 better for turbo
This is interesting, Mike. I'll never own a Merc, but why in the heck don't they use a spin-on filter like everybody else? I can't imagine their filter is any better, looks like about the same paper element to me that regular filters have.
Tom Fitch A lot of the European cars are like this the last car my wife owned was the same way
Whats the background music title?
Bender Anglesmith I have no idea it’s royalty free music
I heard Mercedes pulls from the top. I do that once in while when in a hurry
Great video- but Nobody ever answers the question 40% of MB owners have: if i can’t change it myself, is it ok to use Jiffy or do i hv to drop my pants and pay the Dealership?
Don’t think I would ever trust those fast oil change places. High turnover on employees, lack of experience, etc.
You left out replacing the crush washer and putting the drain plug back on!
Hahaha these are minor details
Oil should be changed every 5k. Especially if you want the vehicle to last beyond warranty.
Give me the job sir iam from Pakistan
seems pretty painless as far as European cars go
Use a genuine MB oil filter. That paper element filter is junk.
300 $ for oil change..... in my country they charge 50 SR which is like 15 $
What kind of oil you use?Canola advanced synthetic if it's so cheap?
@@borisscepanovic1684 Hi, I use Castrol GTX recommended by my dealer,
4 bottles cost me 22 USD
And labor charge cost me 15 USD as i said earlier.
If i do the same oil change from the dealer it will approximately cost me 300 USD +
These engines are loud and a wate of money. I have e300 2018 and I totally hate the car .
sell it then
