The OIL is pulled up through the dipstick..makes the oil change EASY!
Most Marine stores carry the Topsider
I use mobil 1 synthetic 0w-40 Euro Formula which is what Benz uses. I get it at wal mart. Filter from Benz at 10 bucks a pop. I have something similar to topsider from www.griotsgarage.com which is really nice and easy to use. It sucked out all the oil from my car.

I pay $70 for mobil1 oil and filter included at my neighborhood body shop. $140 they are thieves!

But it's 0.7 to 1.0 hrs for an oil change, which it just depends on how much your dealer charges for labor.

i like to jack up my car from the left side and drain the oil because i can replace the drain plug gasket that comes with the oil filter kit.
i'm also old school and feel better seeing the oil bleed out the pan. it eases my mind and to me, it is not that much trouble to do. take off the splash guard and unscrew the plug.

Well Thank You all for the Replys, you all been Helpfull, if I can find a Place that would do for 70.00 I'll take it, but so far haven't found any, otherwise I'll have to fine some Filters somewhere and get the oil myself and that'll cost right around 55.00 to 60.00 I beleive still will save around 80.00 or so... Thanks...

One more thing. Do you have the tool to remove the oil filter?
If not you can use a pair of channel locks, but be careful.

No I don't have the special Tool, I heard can open it with a Normal Wrench, size 12 or 13 or something... Or is that not true?
