Hi Guys,
I am wondering if it is possible to extract the oil by the oil extractor in CLA35/A35? (I guess they have the same motor).
I cannot see any tube-like oil dipstick but without a dipstick like in other cars.

Do you know maybe if it is possible?
How does MB extract the oil, only through the natural gravity option from the bottom?

Thank you

 

Following because I was about to make a thread. I bought two pumps off Amazon and it was a nightmare. The first only hooked up to a compressor and the hoses sucked. No problem it will be even faster. 1.5hour and my compressor running and on and off to build the 70-170 it need to get a suction about 3 liters out. Got dark and cold. Ordered another that is manual as well manual works better than the compressor and it has better hoses. After about 45 mins of pumping and the compressor going little over 2L oil. I gave up. Jacked the car up and there was about 1.5L of oil.

hopefully someone replies. Good luck. I only tried bc I have a weird pipe that blocks the oil pan bolt and you have to bend it out of the way. It’s also 30° and I’m 265 days over for an oil change (only put 300 miles on since the last one but needed to be done bad)

 

First time seeing your thread but if you haven't already and found out without a dipstick, there is no way to suction engine oil out.

 

Since you have a C 43, forum members recommended Mityvac 7201, there shouldn't be a pipe blocking anything unless I am missing something or there is aftermarket mod, or facelift is different down there. Make sure engine oil is warm at around 60c or so before extracting for easier flow.

 

Weird right

 

Ya I don't recall seeing that whenever I do my engine oil but I have a pre-facelift.
