Mercedes clearly did not make it as easy to get at the Thermostat as they did the Bypass Valve that has a sloted Retainer.

What amazes me is that the ports the Oil passes through are not very large.

The Oil Filter Thermostat is around $40 each.
The Pic of parts shows that there are part numbers but that does not mean parts are available.
