W209 CLK55 - topside oil change
I am thinking of doing interim oil changes using a topside oil extractor, mainly to avoid spillages and the resultant clean up.
Is there a good place to remove oil from, using a suction method? I don’t see a dipstick.

Yeah, not sure. Other location would be the dipstick (red cap is next to the firewall).
Here's a thread at the other forum about it - W209, not CLK 55 specific.

i remember topping up transmission fluid in that vicinity a couple of years ago (a leak resolved with a new gasket) . When I looked at it recently I got the dipstick tube confused for the fill tube for the transmission. The lack of a dipstick had me thinking there was no tube.
