There was a big discussion about the oil sucker thing about three-four months ago as well. The oil in the C-class can be changed without getting underneath the car. The oil filter is on the top of the engine, change it, use the sucker to pull the oil out of the motor and you're done. I think it takes two tries to suck all of the oil out since there is an 8 quart sump on the C.

the window label came on my car when i bought it, and the digital gauge has been in the catalog for at least 2 editions (fall 2001 and spring 2002)... i have an accutire gauge myself and i love it. i'm thinking about getting this one though since i like the way it fits onto the tire better... anyone know if it's backlit?

why change your oil yourself when the oil changes are included in the 4 year maintenance agreement? when are we supposed to change oil in the C230K anyway, 7500 miles?

i ask again, when should we change the oil first (and what interval afterwards)? i agree, 10k miles is a lot of distance to go between changes, but 3k miles is also not applicable to this car. i'm a firm believer that if you change your oil regularly, a well-built engine will last forever. i just want to make sure i do it right with this car.

is it pretty easy to change the oil with that oil change sucker accessory? i've never changed oil in a car before (considering i have no tools nor space to do it), but with this tool i'm sure i could find some place to do it in order to save $100

Totally easy, just stick the hose down the dipstick tube and suck out the old oil - it just takes two tries to get all of the oil out because the pump doesn't have enough capacity to drain it all in one go. The filter lives in another housing accessible from the top of the motor.
Won't even get dirty when changing the oil this way.

i think it was for resale purposes. i looked at the link at the beginning of this thread, and the sticker offered there isn't the same as the one on my car. that one said Daimler-Benz product, but mine says Mercedes Benz product???

All New MB cars have the "a Mercedes-Benz product" sticker.
The Daimler-Benz sticker indicates a replacement windshield.
