First Oil Change
My first diy oil change went without a hitch. 7 quarts of oil $46, mercedes oil filter $14, copper crush washer 15 cents.

Mine is a 4MATIC so 7 quarts does it for me.

mine is 4matic too. I’ve changed mine 2x already (4500 and 10k) and both times needed 7+, dipstick was not showing full with only 7. Is yours ?

As I had learned from utube the MB filter is designed to drain off into the engine, so before lifting the car I removed the engine oil fill cap and loosened the oil filter lifting it slightly and leaving it slightly cocked in it`s housing. I then lifted the car and removed the oil pan plug and let it sit for a couple of hrs to drip out, the dirtiest oil comes out last. The amount of oil left in the filter-housing is shown in one of the pics, it was not very much and I just wiped it out with paper towels before reinstalling the new filter in place.
