Fitment questions
Does a sump from a 2008 ML fit a 2012 ML?
The Mercedes ML W164 ran from 2005 to 2011, and the W166 generation replaced it from 2012 onwards, so those two years sit in completely different generations with different engines and different sumps. What matters above the generation boundary is the engine code — a 2008 ML320 CDI (engine code OM642) and a 2012 ML350 BlueTEC (also OM642) share the same engine family, so a sump from the earlier car may well fit the later one, but you must confirm this with the breaker against your registration before buying, as mounting and ancillary details can vary across that generation change.
Will a sump from a W164 ML facelift (2008 onwards) fit an earlier W164?
The W164 ML received a facelift in 2008, and while the core engine codes carried over, detail changes to ancillary components and mountings within the same generation can affect whether a pre-facelift sump swaps straight in. Give the breaker both registrations and ask them to cross-reference the engine codes directly — if the codes match, fitment is very likely, but confirm before purchasing.
Does the trim level affect which sump I need — for example, does an ML Sport need a different sump to an ML SE?
No — trim level has no bearing on sump fitment whatsoever; Sport, SE, AMG Line and similar badges are cosmetic and equipment-level designations, not mechanical ones. The sump follows the engine, so the only details that matter are your engine code (found on your V5C or via a VIN check), fuel type (diesel or petrol), and model year. You may receive a sump with a different surface finish or bracket than your original, but that will not affect function.
What engine code do I need to give the breaker when looking for a used ML sump?
The engine code is the single most important detail for this part — it tells the breaker exactly which sump to pull, far more reliably than the year or badge alone. On the ML you will typically find it on your V5C logbook or via a VIN decoder; common codes include OM642 for the 3.0-litre V6 diesel and M272 or M273 for V6 and V8 petrol units across the W164 and W166 generations. Quoting your full engine code alongside your registration removes the main source of mismatch when ordering a used sump.
Can I fit a used ML sump from an automatic car to my manual ML?
Gearbox type can influence sump specification because some engines used in both automatic and manual applications may have slightly different oil pan configurations to accommodate the drivetrain layout. Confirm with the breaker whether the sump you are looking at came from the same gearbox configuration as your vehicle — provide your engine code and registration and let them verify the match.
Does a 3.0 diesel ML sump fit a 2.1 diesel ML?
No — different diesel engine displacements use entirely different engine blocks, so a sump from a 3.0-litre OM642 will not fit a 2.1-litre unit, as the physical dimensions and mounting points are incompatible. Always match by engine code rather than by fuel type or displacement band alone, and give the breaker your exact code so they can pull the correct sump from their stock.
