Where is the oil filter located on the Mercedes-Benz B200?
1 Answers
The oil filter on the Mercedes-Benz B200 is located next to the right front shock absorber, at the front right of the engine. The function of the oil filter is to remove debris, gum, and moisture from the engine oil, delivering clean oil to various lubrication points. To reduce friction between moving parts in the engine and minimize wear, oil is continuously supplied to the friction surfaces of moving components, forming a lubricating film. Engine oil inherently contains a certain amount of gum, impurities, moisture, and additives. During engine operation, metal particles, airborne contaminants, and oil oxidation products further increase the impurities in the oil. If unfiltered oil directly enters the lubrication circuit, it carries these impurities into the friction surfaces of moving parts, accelerating wear and reducing the engine's lifespan.
