neilrr010 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Yesterday, I changed the oil on my W203 diesel engine because it was an emergency. Though I do have a replacement filter, I was unable to install it since I was missing the tool necessary to do so. The tool will be mine tomorrow. The oil filter is conveniently located on top of the engine, towards the front, making it easy to access. Outside of the old oil filter, does anyone have any idea how much engine oil could be dripping from the engine? I have no plans to change the oil at this time because there are less than 200 miles on the new oil. Much obliged for the advice given; best regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMH757 Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Almost all of the oil will stay in the filter and very little will spill. Gather a lot of paper towels and scatter them around the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
