When the ML came out, that's when MB really started "pushing" the oil extraction method of oil changing. They are concerned that the oil can degrade some of the rubber components underneath, like A arm bushings and motor mounts and such.
Before we got out extractor, we were using various methods to direct the oil away from the various moving parts. Best luck we had was careful cutting and shaping of the top of an empty gallon antifreeze jug.
