Where is the oil filter located in the Mercedes-Benz B200?
2 Answers
The oil filter of the Mercedes-Benz B200 is located next to the right front shock absorber, at the right front position of the engine. Below are the functions of the oil filter: 1. Reduce the friction resistance between moving parts in the engine and minimize component wear. 2. Filter out impurities, gum, and moisture from the engine oil. Below is more information about the Mercedes-Benz B200: 1. The Mercedes-Benz B200 is a compact 5-door, 5-seat hatchback with body dimensions of 4423mm in length, 1796mm in width, and 1555mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2729mm. 2. It is equipped with a 1.3T turbocharged engine and a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 120 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm. The drivetrain is front-wheel drive, with a front suspension using a MacPherson strut independent suspension and a rear suspension using a torsion beam non-independent suspension.
My Mercedes-Benz B200 has been running for almost a decade now. The oil filter thing is usually located in the engine compartment – just pop the hood and you'll spot it. To be specific, it's mostly positioned at the top of the engine, sometimes near the front bumper side, designed quite conspicuously as a black or blue cylindrical component. When changing the oil yourself, remember to do it when the engine is cold, wear gloves to avoid dirty hands, and don't forget to remove the old filter before installing the new one. If you can't locate it immediately, never force it open – I'd recommend checking the owner's manual first, which contains illustrated instructions. Older cars are more prone to sludge buildup, with fewer positional changes, but newer models might have adjusted angles. Regular filter checks can prevent excessive engine wear, safeguarding both longevity and safe driving.
