[diesel_mercedes] oil filter canister gasket replacement, has anyone done this?

 



It's a double PIA and I'd wash the engine well _before_ beginning, to easy to get grime and grit into the oil passages, always a very bad thing .

As mentioned, any time you're faced with allen fasteners, take the time to clean each one *perfectly* before ever inserting an allen wrench as they're easy to strip and hard to remove once damaged .

Thanks Nate.

I feel better that someone I know has done this successfully.

The oil cooler lines were replaced a handful of years ago. That was a PITA too.

Yes, it's just a thin paper gasket, I didn't use any sealant or shellac .

I used hand Allen wrenches to get the bolts out, it _is_ a P.I.T.A. so just make sure you have plenty of time and the fan running.....

I replaced the oil cooler hoses at the same time .

Hi,

Even after all the repairs/ maintenance I've done recently, or have had done, I still have a bad leak at the oil filter canister.

Has anyone done a oil filter canister gasket replacement?

I have the gasket, and special shortened wrenches used to work the oil cooler lines, yet it still looks like a PITA.

Any advice? Did replacing the gasket stop the leak? Any special sealants used on the gasket, etc?

Thanks
