Genuine Mercedes-Benz Oil Filters

Oil filters help capture both the impurities in motor oil and the other infiltrates that it builds up while lubricating engine parts. If your Mercedes-Benz vehicle didn't have one, that accumulated muck would stress its oil pump, wear out the pump's bearings, and cause all kinds of engine problems, and rather quickly.

An oil filter is comprised of a housing, medium, and a gasket. The housing is what attaches and holds the filter to the engine; the medium captures said pollutants, while the gasket closes the filter off from the outside, also helping to prevent oil leaks in the process.

Unfortunately, no oil filter lasts indefinitely; they need to be replaced consistently, during every oil change or every other one -- that's every 3,000 miles or about every 3 months, whichever comes first. The signs it may be time to do so include a loss of oil pressure, an engine oil warning on the dash, and general engine performance issues. The signs you should replace the housing gaskets are brittleness, cracking, and oil leaks.

To change the filter, you can access it either from underneath the engine compartment (once you remove the undertray if your vehicle has one) or from above the bay. Your owner's manual should contain more information on this.

Before you install a new oil filter, however, be sure to get a genuine one, not one off the aftermarket.

Why Buy Genuine Mercedes-Benz vs. Aftermarket Oil Filters?

The aftermarket doesn't always guarantee they'll be designed and built compatible with your model specifically. Mercedes-Benz does.
