Oil Change Dilemma
I bought my 2006 C55 AMG this past June. I have been lurking on the forums for awhile now. I've searched the forums for awhile, but apparently not hard enough. I went to change my oil last night and I can't find any good information really. Most of the posts are too old so the pictures aren't there anymore. Long story short I would like to change my oil from the bottom of the engine. Ive seen it on the forums that there are 2 drain plug bolts. I could only locate one and its damn near covered by the front sway bar. My engine is the M113 model. Can someone please point me in the direction of a good DIY for my engine. If not what model MITYVAC extractors are people using? More than likely I will have to extract it from the top. Not too happy since this damn oil change is going to be right around $160.

One plug is on the driver side right over the swaybar (you found this one)
The other plug (the main one) is at the back of the oil crankcase, facing the rear of the vehicle. Slightly closer to the driver side of the vehicle, just in front of the transmission

Hell, I remembered the swaybar being the steering rack, so yeah.
