Where is the slk 230 fuel filter located?
Car: Mercedes-Benz, SLK 230, 1999 - Back to Fix-It
Q.Where is the slk 230 fuel filter located? does a slk 230 need aoil filter if it uss 8 quarts? does a slk 230 have to use synthetis oil?
I already checked/done: Just looking for the darn thing to change it out OIL< FUEL filter
Answer The fuel filter is located under the car, ahead of the gas tank. Commonly it is covered by a plastic sheild..looks like the one below.
Only Synthetic oil should be used to prevent premature engine failure and the oil filter should be replaced with every service..
FSS-Equipped Vehicles (As of 1998)
Notes
Engine oil
Mercedes-Benz USA has changed the engine lubricant recommendation for FSS-equipped vehicles: effective immediately, Mercedes-Benz only recommends the use of MB approved synthetic motor oil for all vehicles equipped with the Flexible Service System as of Model Year 1998.
Use only synthetic engine oil that meets ACEA A3/B3 and/or API SH/SJ classifications. If an approved or ACEA A3/B3 quality engine oil is not available, then an API quality engine oil meeting the API SH/SJ classification can be used.
The use of engine oil additives is not recommended by MBUSA
Addition Thank you I am also lookinh for the oil filter and can not seem to locate either. Does it look like others of other cars?
