Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first ensure the engine is cool. Remove the old filter using a standard filter wrench, taking care to catch residual oil. Clean the mounting surface on the engine block thoroughly to ensure the new gasket seats correctly. Lightly coat the new rubber gasket on the W719/13 with clean engine oil before threading it on by hand until it makes contact, then tighten as specified by your vehicle service manual—usually three-quarters of a turn further. This filter is compatible with various Mercedes-Benz models including the 190 E 2.6, SL 300 SL, 124 300e 4-matic, 230 CE, and 124 300 TE 4-matic.
