MODEL 163 OIL EVACUATION EQUIPMENT
Mercedes-Benz engines are designed to allow engine oil extraction from under the hood via the dipstick tube. The dipstick tube has an enlarged
cross section and a formed extension at the top end. On the other side it ends a short distance from the oil pan bottom. Engine oil can be extracted
using the dipstick tube.
Note:
Inserting tubular probes through the dipstick tube is NOT recommended.
Due to suspension component and frame position, draining oil by means of the drain plug can lead to engine oil coming in contact with and
subsequently damage the rubber suspension components. It is strongly recommended to use oil evacuation equipment for this procedure.
A pneumatic oil suction unit, manufactured by Deutsche Tecalemit in Germany, is approved by DBAG for use with M-B engines. The unit has
recently been added to the MBNA Standard Equipment Program and is available for order in the USA via the sole importer/distributor: AGA, Inc. of
2000 Mercedes Benz Truck ML 55 AMG (163.174) V8-5.5L (113.981) 260
Bettendorf, IA.
Figure 1
This portable unit (Figure 1.) utilizes the suction principle via an air-powered piston pump. The engine oil extraction is accomplished by connecting
a specialized Suction Adapter from the unit to the dipstick tube.
Additionally, a variety of flexible probes and fittings are also supplied for other oil removal applications e.g. power steering reservoir, rear axle, etc.
Waste oil collected in the tank of the unit can be emptied using the unit's pump.
