How to jackthe CLS for oil change

does anyone know if lifting just the front side of the car will be ok for oil change? Mainly - will the oil drip or in that position not all will drip?
I can't find this info online ... I kept digging and nothing. I can use ramps or jacks.. but lifting the whole car takes too much time.

Thanks!

OK, so nobody has bumped into this.
Here is the answer: lift the car from the right side, passenger side.

For the last 10 years on all my Mercedes car's I have used a siphon pump/oil extractor. Simply warm the car up with a 20 minute run. Drop the siphon hose into the engine, change the oil filter, top up, DONE.
Takes a total of 25 minutes and you never get dirty.
