I4 Emira Turbo/AMG DIY oil changes?

[Madimira]

Beautiful, thanks for the write-up!

Just wondering if you noticed any brand names or part numbers indicated on the original filter that came with the engine? I'm assuming the original filter was a Mercedes branded part?

Good idea.
The original says "AMG A 133 184 00 25" and Hengst.

I changed my Emira oil at 1000 miles. Took me several methods to remove the oil drain bolt because it got stripped. Eventually got it off by sawing a slit on the head, then used chisel and hammer to break it loose. I replaced it with a drain valve, so now I only need a wrench for the oil filter housing.

Coming home with just 200 miles on I4
Oil level said 5.4 OK but showed .....0.8 below Max...
When do you add oil at what level ???

Mine went down to 0.8 and I added about 0.5. Seemed to keep it happy
Mine was also just serviced and is telling me its 0.2 and sometimes 0.4 below max, so either the dealership scrimped on oil, or the measuring is a tad vague.
