First Benz. Bought new last April, 2025 C300 with AMG night package. I couldn't find a 2025 C300 in my profile list, only went up to 2020, very strange?
Loving the car so far. Added some MRR 19" wheels. I do all my own maintenance so hoping to learn how to do my first oil change? I believe there is no dipstick so no oil extractor like the dealer told me they use? Guessing I have to remove the rear underbody panel to get to the drain plug?
Welcome, and congrats..Nice looking ride. As for oil changes it shouldnt be to hard (youtube, interweb, etc), also check your owners manual. What was your decision on buying this jewel?

I looked at the competition and none of the cars we drove were as good looking and tech savvy as the C300. One of the main competitors was the Genesis G70 but the interior of the C300 blew that car away. Also the turbo 4 in the G70 was sluggish compared to the C300. Audi's didn't do anything for me and Acura are so plain jane looking so they were out. So it made an easy choice in the luxury class entry level.
Regarding the oil changes, I've been googling and searching youtube but all I found was the older cars (2022 and below) which have dipsticks. Couldn't find anything on the '25 or '26s?
Awesome choice...The cars mentioned are pretty dull, and for the money MBs are a step above the rest. As for oil dip stick/changes my w211 does not have dipstick, but i have to travel via the console to get correct oil levels once the oil change is done...All will be just fine.
