I'm getting ready to change her oil, but I'm not sure how to remove the filter from the canister. Obviousley I'll remove the oil first but the filter makes me a little nervous, does it screw and out? Thanks in advance.

Make sure you get the bolt good and tight when you put the cover back on. The first time I changed mine, I didn't tighten it enough. It blew oil all over when I started the motor. It has to be torqued reasonably hard with a hand wrench.

There should be flip-up handle laying on top of the filter (some are a one-piece bail, some have two tabs to pull on) which you will see after you remove the canister cap. The filter is simply sitting on a post (which the cap screw was screwed into). Pull straight up...it may take some force to break it loose because there are a couple of rubber seals on the filter where the post passes through. If the handle breaks off (hasn't happened to me but it could), then you will have to figure out how to pry the filter out, may have to destroy it in the process. If so, make sure you get all the trash out of the canister before you put the new filter in.

The replacement oil filter I have got a couple of times at my local O'Reilly's is a Wix brand. Don't remember the number, but I saw it listed here in the Archives. Strangely enough the filter box says it's for a Mercedes.

The filter has a folding bail handle on the top and you just pull it out. A rubber gasket comes with the new filter and you want to be sure and change that too.

The same filter was used extensively on Mercedes four cylinder engines. Almost all 4 cylinder diesels used them. This engine saw extensive use on mobile freezers such as shipping containers, rail cars and some trailers. Not used by them in the 1990's to my knowledge.

First, you remove the bolt that holds the cover on to the filter canister, then remove cover. Then you reach in and pull the filter out by the little ring that is on top of the filter. Dispose of filter properly. Insert new filter and some people like to add oil to the filter canister. This is a feel good kinda thing. I would do it to my car, but have not found a way to keep the oil in the filter since it mounts on a 45 deg angle. Maybe if I jacked up only one side of the car hmmmm.
Happy Motoring

Nope, just presses down into the cannister. It might be a liitle tight getting out because of the rubber seals on the filter that go around the cannister shaft on the inside. Personally, after I put in a new filter, I fill up the cannister with oil before I button it up so I don't have a dry start up after the oil change, but I don't know if that's necessary. It just makes me feel good.

You won't really have a dry start if you don't fill the canister. The filter on a 8N only filters the overflow pressure on its way to lubricate the govener. Most of the oil goes from the pump straight to the bearings. The main bearing oil gallery is tapped to provide a place for the line to the pressure guage and to the filter canister/governer.
