Thumbs up Positive note....

Think of the rust proofing for your trunk though!!!
Do you have the carpet in the trunk? If so, take it to a laundrey mat and wash it with GoJo. It will clean it up. But, run the washer empty afterwards so the next guy won't get gunk on his clothes. I washed some stuff at home, my wife almost killed me for it.

The MB gods are getting back at you for using your MB as a truck.

I disagree..(to some degree :-D)
Used motor oil is easier to get off things as compared to fresh new oil.
When I popped my oil line in the benz, you want to talk about hard to remove oil
The new stuff is still DOING its stuff...getting on things and lubricating
Such a bugger to get off at wash time
(go go liquid gloves)
New or old, I would take old...
Mix that oil with some dirt...then you can clean it up
