No spare and no dipstick. Shame on Mercedes. Next vehicle, I'll look elsewhere. Perhaps Lexus.

yes, I took it to a retired MB mechanic,he looked everywhere and could not find anywhere to suck from and in the end did it the old fashioned way. He only charged me $50 labour and supplied the parts at a slight discount?employee?

Because it's Benz he charged you $50 in labor just for draining it out from under? And just because it's a benz, stealer charging $200+ regardless from top or bottom.

Is there a hidden dipstick tube with a cover eg Audi,Porsche 4cyl Macan/Q5? .Can I buy a dipstick and put it there.?
Thanks
Have anybody figured this out yet?

it seems to depend on the models. for example of the C-class W205 after testing, exactly as much oil is removed by vacuuming.

But how to do without dipstick ?

I would really like to know !

Thanks !
