Red face oil change and service

Hey everyone, I'm a college student and my Dad is letting me use his e420 for the summer. I need to have the oil changed and a 60k tuneup, does anyone know any good places to have this done in the Newark Delaware area? 19711. I would bring it to th dealership but they want ridiculous amounts of money. Thanks

I'd recommend that you should do the oil changing your self, it's not to difficult. Go buy 6-7 quarts of motor oil (10-40W for cold seasons or 20-50W for warm seasons) from which ever car part place you'd like. Open your top oil cap, then place an object to catch the oil underneath. Then proceed to open the oil pan screw carefully so oil doesn't come flying out at you. Once you have that removed, oil will come out. Once the oil is done draining, go ahead and screw back in the oils pan screw and washer (I recommend to get new ones every oil change). After you do this, go into your engine bay and replace your oil filer (do this every oil change). After this is complete, open those bottles of oil and start pooring them where the oil cap used to be. Sounds hard? Nah....

If you need a 60K tune up, don't take it to just anybody...

take it either to the $tealer$hip or an independendant that specializes on MB's. The oil change you can DIY.
Good luck!
