Nice video, you have a great set up! Two tips:
You might want to consider using the suction method to change your oil which doesn't require you to jack up the car and get under it. This is the method they use at the dealer and works well as the oil dipstick extends all the way to the bottom of the tank and all you need to do is make an airtight fit at the top of the tube and use a fluid extractor to pump the oil out. The other tip is to pour the bulk of the oil in to the oil filter opening prior to closing it with the new filter.

Andrew Alzate, you should ask your question on a new thread ( since your question doesn't relate to this thread) and you might need to put it in the w220 section since it appears your car is NOT a w221 ( MB never made a 430 on w221 platform)
hope that helps to get your question answered more quickly

for jacking up the back side of the car, are you using the jacking point of the Differential? I don't see any other place?
