  Q: How to reset the service indicator after changing the oil filter on Mercedes-Benz C230?

  A:

  Preventive maintenance also requires frequent oil changes because old oil may become diluted and contaminated, causing an early wear of the engine. Make sure that you have plenty of tools and lots of rags or newspapers to clean up any spills before beginning. One can access under a vehicle more readily that the vehicle is hoisted on a hoist, driven to ramps or jackstood. When this is the first oil change, locate the oil drain plug when the engine and exhaust parts are still hot expecting problems to arise. Park the car in a flat place, switch the engine on until some normal operating temperature is reached, and then switch it off. Take the filler cap of the valve cover, and the oil filter is on the front left side of the engine, which requires the use of rag to take the spill as the filter cap is unscrewed. Jack up the car safely, without injuring the hot exhaust parts, and set a drain pan underneath the drain plug, to drain that away, using the relevant tool. Wait until the old oil drops out, checking it to see if anything has been left in it, then wash the drain plug before re-fitting it firmly. Carefully wipe the oil filter housing and cap, after removing tools and rags under vehicle, lowering the vehicle and wiping the cap and oil filter housing, replace O-ring and filter element and tighten the cap. Pop in new oil, with funnel, if necessary, and after a few minutes, note that the level is good and then start engine to circulate oil. After approximately one minute of engine operation, inspect engine oil at the oil pan drain plug and oil filter and resolve any leakage problems as they arise. Test the temperature of the oil again and refill with oil, use care to check leaks and oil quantities on the first few trips. utilize the old oil and should do so in an environmentally friendly manner. Once the oil has been changed, turn the ignition key to position one and then activate the service indicator via steering wheel and instrument panel buttons by selecting the Standard Display menu and then clicking through to the Service indicator. Push and release the Reset button until asked to confirm the reset, then the distance to next service will appear.
