Here a Utube vid of a gent in Aus. (Scott) who's done it to his C class a few years back. I've used his methods to do my GLK 4matic a 3 years ago. Pretty simple actually as he uses some inexpensive tools to achieve a proper flush! I would recommend getting a full WIS printout of your 166 for any changes/updates/torques. One of the things you really want to know about is exactly what 'color' oil ie(blue, green, red) fluid is running in yours now??? MB changes/updates their fluids all the time, and some are not compatible with the others! Research your VIN at the dealer, they 'should' know. Just take it slow, follow the procedure, and you'll be fine. The 1st 2min or so are a bit mundane, and the Volume is poor... gets better with time... was fun to have done it, and saved a bundle... good luck!
