Oil Change DIY?

Hi,

I'm not familiar with the C32 but my friend has one and he wants to do an oil change.

I've done a search but haven't found a really conclusive DIY with the following information:

- Where is the filter located? Does it require a special wrench?
- If I'm using a topsider, how do I get the oil out (I've heard there is no dipstick tube)?
- Where do I fill the oil?
- What is the torque for the filter? (hand-tight like some cars?)
- How many qts of oil and what viscosity (this is in northern california)? I've read 7.5 qts of 0w40
- If I want to drain the oil directly from the pan, what's the size and torque of the drain plug?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You might want to drain it from the plug, the filter comes with a new washer and 3 seals for the filter, the filter is located under the engligne cover, can't miss it. the torque is 25 nw and you can buy a special tool to unscrew it or rambo one yourself.

Changing oil is the same for a honda or mercedes. nothing special...
