Can I use OIL EXTRACTOR on my E55 AMG?
I want to change my oil but I don't want to go through the annoying hassle of rattling under the car and locating bolts and making crazy oily mess it just Annoying when filter is at the top!!! OK!!! I have a RED dipstick. It doesn't have the metal wire that feeds to the engine that calculates oil level it's just red and it sits by the AIR distributor of the engine. Can I insert the oil extractor through there? PLZ I NEED A ADVICE I WANT TO DO THIS STUFF MYSELF NO MORE STEALERSHIP!!!! WITH THERE FAKE SMILE OF JINGLE BELLS AND GIGGLES!!!!! as I swipe my CARD and leave with my keys and a TIPLE DIGIT PRICE RECEIPT!!!!!

You won't get to the bottom of the pan due to the oil baffling and will still have some old oil left in the car.
Quit being lazy and do the oil change correctly. Every 7.5k-10k miles is not that big of a hassle.

If it's the fill tube behind the rear of the engine with the red cap, you'll be sucking the transmission fluid out!!! (Not your engine oil!)

Your worst nightmare...
Couldn't agree more, you have been an E55 owner for some time now! Time to get dirty 
. It's super simple and easy. If I was closer i'd give you a hand but I am in LI now.
What year is your E55? On my 04 I could do it with the extractor, with the 06 I have now my tech said to do it the right way, have to get underneath the car, remove both plugs and done. I'd say if you can, lift it up slightly, get the covers off and drop the car so it could drain all the oil then jack back up and put plugs in.

Hey relax I am not lazy it's just 1. I don't want to remove the plugs from underneath because once you remove the plugs you have plug brand new ones back in. 2. Last it's a non messy job.

Actually no the dipstick for the transmission tube, is behind the left air duct. The dipstick for the engine oil is behind the the supercharger.
