Did the “A” service on the S430 today. It was due in a couple thousand miles, so I figured I would get ahead of the curve and do it. Some things I encountered I have questions about since this is my first W220 car:
The oil filter that was in the car was a pleated type made in Poland. No manufacturer’s name or logo on it. Hmm. Are the pleated filters acceptable as opposed to the fleece? The fleece (Mann) filter I got had all the “O” rings with it. I had one left over, a big one, maybe an inch in diameter. There was another one this size on the oil filter “tube” where the “tube” was larger in diameter. I couldn’t find any others of the same size. There were two smaller ones near the bottom of the “tube”. Did I miss something? I don’t like the lack of an oil pressure gauge. I think there s a way to get the display to show oil pressure that I saw while researching the car. I’ll have to find it. Still working on "Marthaing" the engine compartment. The engine is almost done, then I have to move out to the tops of the fenders. Looking better every day. Cabin filters were a piece of cake to replace. The ones that were in the car were pretty nasty.
