SL63 oil change, how many drain plugs?

I know that on the SL55 there are 2 oil drain plugs "front and rear on the pan." On the C63 there is 1 oil drain plug on the pan and 1 plug on the oil cooler located in front of the passenger side wheel.

How many oil drain plugs are there on a 2009 SL63? I have located 1 main drain plug on the actual oil pan and that is it. I took off the extra panel in front of the passenger side wheel that exposes the oil cooler but can't find anything that resembles a drain plug on the oil cooler.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Bump... Would like to finish this up this afternoon and want to make sure that I am not missing any other plugs besides the 1 main one on the pan.

Oil Change

Hi,
Just got my 2009 SL63 and thinking about doing oil myself. Did you do yours and was there just the one plug on the drain pan? As well, I assume the filter cartridge was easy and at the easy access spot on top of the engine??


Cheers,
James
