On the driver's side of the engine, near the back of the engine compartment, you'll see a silver upright cylinder with a lid secured by two bolts. That's your filter housing. Remove the two bolts and pull the lid straight out (there's a shaft connected to the lid). The filter has a little handle on it, so you can lift it out. The new filter has a rubber O gasket that fits into the groove in the lid.

How do you turn red diesel into clear diesel?

You used to be able to however, there is now a marker in the fuel that reacts with a re-agent that is used by HMRC. So you may be able to change the colour to blue (taxed) but it's highly unlikely you'd be able completely change red in to blue. You can filter the diesel through sand, then through a paper filter, repeat this 3 or 4 times through fresh sand and it will become clear. You must filter the diesel 3 times through a filter made of kitchen towel to catch any microns of sand which can ruin your engine. Make sure you change the fuel filters every 2 or 3 months in your vehicle too. AS high as the fine are for using off road fuel, and that chance of fuel system damage from the "sand filtering" described above, I would recommend buying the correctly taxed fuel.

How do you change the oil filter of 1994 Mercedes C220?

The oil filter is a cartridge type filter which is accessed from above the engine, not the bottom as is normal with US cars. There is a black plastic cap about 3" in diameter on the drivers side of the engine, just behind the radiator hose. Unscrew the oid drain plug and drain oil from below. Then from the top side you can unscrew the oil filter cap, pull out the old cartridge, and drop in a new cartridge filter element.

How to make diesel from used oil?

People running used oil in diesel engines aren't making it into diesel fuel... they're running it straight. It requires the oil to be thoroughly strained, heated, and, above all, it can only be run in a pre-DPF engine, as running anything other than #2 Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel will clog a diesel particulate filter in no time flat, to the point where it won't be able to be cleaned out by regeneration, and thus, you'll end up having to replace the DPF filter.
