Oil extraction from the top. No dipstick help!
Hi fellas, having been doing g my oil change via extraction from the top for ages, I would like to continue saving a couple of bucks but with the 2022 GLC300 not having a dip stick,has anyone figured out how to extract the engine oil from the top? I don't have a lift to lift the car up nor want to crawl under the car to get to the drain plug. Brainiacs any ideas?

You may have better luck posting in the right forum. This is the GLC AMG forum. The AMG V8 still has a dipstick. Not sure about the V6 in the 43, though, but for the GLC 300 you wanna post here: https://mbworld.org/forums/glc-class-x253-203/
Having said that, sometimes engines still have a dipstick tube, but covered with a plug. I've also read that a way to do it is to remove the oil filter and suck it out through the oil filter tube. Depends on where the oil filter is located. Many are at the top of the engine for ease of changing.
