2007 E63 w/P30 and Eurotech CF Diffuser
I got a very specific answer from AMG on the PL for the E63. The front plug in the shallow aluminum pan should not be touched. They also recomended doing a drain rather than pumping through the dip stick.
In fact I tried and could not budge it and stopped trying when I was starting to deform the bolt head.
The rear drain plug on the main pan has a copper washer that should be replaced, although I have skipped changing it once.
Dear bjecsc,
Thank you very much for your post.
The drain plug at the front of your E 63 AMG engine is not convenient for draining the oil. Following the service instructions on the E 63 AMG, only the drain plug in the oil pan at the back of the engine is appropriate for draining the oil. Extracting through the dip stick is not possible either. A nearly complete emptying is guaranteed while your engine is at operating state temperature. A possible remaining quantity in the front area is negligible.
We hope this information finds you helpful.
Best regards,

2005 E55 AMG
The e55 amg plugs are supposed to be replaced. I switched mine out with reusable magnetic drain plugs so i don't have to replace every oil change.
