DIY Oil Change

Time for the first oil change on my 2021 Cabriolet. I'd like to do it myself. I have done several oil changes on my previous car C300 by vacuum extraction from the dipstick tube. Looks like this car doesn't have a dipstick. Has anyone done their own oil change yet? Any hints, tips or tricks?

Thanks in advance!

Since when does changing your own oil void the warranty?

Keep records and the receipts, if it isn't a big deal, I'd just have the dealer do it. Changing your oil does not void the warranty, lack of documentation when it comes time to file a claim is where you will run into trouble.
