Hi. I've seen posts for older E's on this topic, but not for the 2019 model. My understanding is that the 2019 V6 does not have an engine oil dipstick. I'd like to do the engine oil change myself, with the use of a vacuum evacuator. Is there somewhere on the top of the engine that can provide access to the oil pan via a vacuum hose? Any advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Based on what? Did you even look under the hood?

No. Based on the sales person's info during the review of the dashboard messages.

Sales people are as clueless as many buyers. Dipstick is there - purple cap.

As an add-on question, is the oil filter located toward the top of the engine or does it have to be accessed from below?

Yes, it is still on top but to access it, the main engine plastic cover (large middle piece with star) needs to be removed. This video shows how (about 1:20 mark into it):
