How i can do oil change in my 2010 E350 w212 4dr 4 Matic

I just did mine, I used a Mityvac Fluid Evacuator. It took 20 minutes and never got under the car. The Mityvac is less than $80 and it sucks oil out of the dipstick tube. Filter is right below engine cover. Get a Mityvac!

I actually paid to have that done, I watched, it was simple, wish I did it myself. Its plug and play, there are some DIYs on here, check youtube as well.

That fluid evacuator looks great. I've done 3 so far by going under the car, removing the panel and the drain plug. I might have to get the fluid evacuator for the next one!

Guess what, when I was at the dealer in Ft Pierce a few weeks ago, they were using a Mityvac, honest to God...

I have a Mityvac... But seriously, do you know how many quarts our cars have? You'd be pumping there forever... Unless you whack off a zillion times a day, you'd have some serious hand cramps...


ALSO, those Mityvacs will NOT take all of the oil. Do it right and drain the oil from the bottom of the car...

I resemble that comment!

My Mityvac got all the oil about 8 quarts (im sure there is some that didnt come out, but thats the case regardless. I prefer the Mityvac.

I use a $7 hand pump that I buy each time when I buy the oil. The pump goes bad after use. The oil eats up the piston seals and the pump is bad when I try to use after 10000 miles again. For $7 it is not too expensive to buy especially now as Walmart sells the oil in 5 qt jugs.

Oil in my car gets changed at every 5000 miles as I do it myself between the scheduled maintenance at the deale

E550 engine takes 9 qt oil and I think my E350 was 7 qt.

Ok guys.... I give up... Where the hell is the oil plug in these cars? Does anyone have a pic? Yes, I know I can suck it out of the dipstick, but my Mityvac is not working right now...
