Oil Change???
Im going to be getting an oil change today and I had a few questions since Im not going to the dealer because the oil light came on and they don't have an opening for another week. I'm going to take it to a highly recommended shop for Mercedes and BMW's and Im going to take my own Mobile 1 0-40w oil... I'm just a little curious about the oil filter. What brand is oem and are they all the same or do I need to get a certain brand? Also, the Mobile 1 0-40w is what the suggested at the dealer is this the best? Thanks!

Make sure you use a fleece filter from Mann & Hummel. Available as Genuine Benz, Mann, Bosch & K&N.

Yep, with an extractor like this one:

I can change my oil without getting under the car or getting dirty and worrying about spilled oil. It's easy - EASY!

Thanks for the responses! I would love to do it myself but I honestly don't feel like dealing with transporting the oil to get rid of it. Especially since the W209 is my only car... I don't even want to think about the potential mess! hahah
I have an appointment for tomorrow and I bought 9 quarts of the Mobile 1 0-40w along with a genuine oil filter from the dealer.

I had an issue with my Mityvac - it stopped pumping. I found the suction/empty valve was loose. I've done dozens of Mobil 1 changes with it and no problems. And $wager, the thing I like about the Mityvac is that I leave the oil in it and take it to the recycler, then pull the rubber plug on top and dump it into the vat - no worries with putting the used oil into other containers to transport. As long as you're careful, there will be no leaks or mess.

I took the fittings apart and put teflon tape on them. Much better.
Which cleaner does one use to wash out the canister between uses? I am afraid of using something too harsh that might attack the seals. Dishwasher detergent?
