Frequently Asked Questions

6 common questions answered

Is the oil filter replaced every time a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe has its oil changed?The oil filter is replaced with the oil service when the service calls for a filter replacement.

Replacing both together gives the fresh oil a clean filtering surface. A loaded filter can open its bypass valve, allowing oil to circulate without being filtered. The correct timing should follow the manufacturer's maintenance schedule and the vehicle's service history.

  • Filter matched to the fitted engine
  • New drain plug gasket or washer where applicable
  • Leak check after the engine runs
What is included in an oil filter replacement on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe?The service includes an engine-matched filter, a new drain plug gasket or washer where applicable, and a post-service leak check.

The replacement filter is selected for the engine actually fitted to the vehicle. After the engine has run, the filter seal is checked for leaks. The filter is replaced alongside the oil so the new oil is not immediately passing through an already loaded filter.

  • Filter matched to the engine
  • Drain plug gasket or washer when used by the engine
  • Inspection for leaks at the filter seal
What happens if the oil filter on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe is not replaced?A loaded filter can open its bypass valve, allowing oil to circulate without filtration.

The engine may continue receiving oil, but that oil can bypass the filter rather than having debris removed. This makes a filter that has gone too long a concern even when there is no obvious change in driving behavior. An oil-pressure warning, unusual engine noise, or oil that darkens quickly after a change warrants attention.

  • Debris remains captured less effectively
  • Unfiltered oil may circulate through the engine
  • Oil-pressure warnings or unusual noise can signal concern
Does a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe need a specific oil filter?Yes, the filter is matched to the engine, and filters are not interchangeable across engines.

The 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe range uses engines from 2.0 to 4.0 liters and from four to eight cylinders. Those differences are why the filter must be selected for the engine actually fitted to the vehicle. Mercedes-Benz of Sudbury can match the filter during the service appointment.

  • Engine range of 2.0 to 4.0 liters
  • Four- to eight-cylinder configurations
  • Filter selection based on the fitted engine
Can the oil be changed on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLC-Class Coupe without changing the filter?The oil can be changed separately, but replacing the filter with the oil keeps fresh oil from flowing through an old filter.

A filter holds debris collected from the oil, and its bypass valve can open once the filter loads. That means the engine may still receive oil, but not necessarily filtered oil. Whether a filter is due depends on the manufacturer's schedule and the vehicle's service history.

  • Filter captures debris carried by the oil
  • Bypass operation can permit unfiltered circulation
  • Service history helps determine replacement timing
