The oil filter on a W115 is up front, underneath in a canister. Huge
PITA to change as you always end up with oil running down your
armpit. The filter housing is by #1 cylinder underneath the
injection pump.
On the 616 (as opposed to the 615 which is in the W115), the oil
filter housing is on top of the fitting and the filter is removed by
taking the cover off. I have seen a few with a remote housing, but
only in the W123 chassis, not the W115. Much nicer, as you don't
have to lie on the ground with oil dripping on you.
You cannot put a 617 out of a W123 into a W115 for the same reason.
Has to be the one installed there, and they are uncommon these days.
