On the OIL change.... I have a little electric pump with a adapter I made on the lathe with O rings. I slip it in the dipstick tube and suck the oil out..Filter should be loosened first so the oil in the filter drops into the crankcase. Be sure to use the correct Fleece filter and fill it with Mobil 1 0W 40. 15 min job..
I usually suck out the power steering fluid and replace it at same time as I use the same pump..

How much fluid is required?

As far as oil goes I find out how much Wall Mart is selling M1 oil for and then ask Advance Auto to price match it for M1 0W-40

This guy shows how to an oil change with a tospider with the same exact engine cover. I think he has one on air filters too.

Why are you changing cabin air filters via the glove box? 2006 ML350 owner
Why do some YouTube instructions show access through the glove box to replace cabin filters?
Am I missing something? Are there two separate locations for air cabin filters?
I accessed cabin filters from under the hod and it less than 5 minutes to replace both cabin air filters on my 2006 ML350.
(Lifted the hood, unclamped two silver clips on the air intake cover (located on passenger side, corner) and replaced filters.
