The tool worked perfectly. Made it so easy to do. My fluid wasn't too bad, so only needed 9 liters for a flush to the point where the fluid coming out, was just about the same as what was going in. I poured fluid while my friend constantly cycled the ride height.
The fluid up top was what I pumped out and, the green blob is about what I pumped in
Of course, I finished up with a new filter installed then cycled it about 5 more times to bleed out any air. I can't say enough good things about that tool. It's incredibly well made and makes what used to be a horrible job on the W221 about as easy as an oil change.
oh crap, a little far for me. Glad the tool worked well for you, though! Was your filter the type that you have to unhook from the cover or the other type? I thought mine was going to be the drop in type, but when I inspected it, it was the older version that attaches to the cover. (I think that's the older version, not sure)

My filter itself lives in a "basket" that is attached to the reservoir cap. As far as older version or newer version... the only difference is the older filter (what came in the W220 originally) was a 10 micron. The new filter looks the same, but is 3 micron. So, much better filtering out of crap. There's no difference in location of the filter either new or old and I believe only thing for sale today is the new, 3 micron filter.
