I just did it this past weekend at 1100 miles. It's a piece of cake.
Vacuum the oil out through the dipstick tube. Replace the filter. Currently, the wrench to remove the filter cover is only available from MBUSA (Hazet will have one available soon.), and is very pricey. See earlier threads for the P/N.
He'll need 9.5 qts of the approved (only two brands) oil. I got the Mobil 1 ESP Formula M 5W-40 from my dealer's parts department.
