How to change Mercedes AMG M177 oil. In this job 9L or 9.5qt of 5w-40 or 0w-40 (Mobil 1 or MB is “approved”) are utilized. Deep socket or extension socket 8mm 13mm sockets will be needed. I used a 24mm ratcheting spanner but a socket would work here too. I used a “Mann 6008 Z” filter as it was recommended to me from a young age, Hengst I believe is OEM, https://amzn.to/3NIDDNA (affiliate link).
