Changing the oil
I picked up my '06 SL55 two weeks ago with 24,600 miles and I cannot stop from grinning. It is one sweet ride. The other day, I was checking the oil level and it is down by one quart. I bought a quart of Mobil 1 and was about to add it when I noticed the oil that was splashed underneath the filler cap was dark. The car computer shows that Service B is not due until another 9600 miles.
I want to change the oil myself. Has anyone attempted to do so? If so, can you give me some details? I tried to search for this topic on this forum but could not find the "search" button.
Thanks in advance,
Robert

Haven't done an oil change myself yet. There are two semi-related posts here:And here:According to my All Data subscription, the SL55 requires 9 quarts; 8.5 if you don't change the oil filter.
HTH.
