Thanks,
I'll try it this weekend. I was referring to an oil dip stick in lieu of just a dip stick cap and a oil drain plug for the oil from the pan. I think the extraction method is great but every now and then I would love to drain the oil from the oil plug if there is one. Though I trust now an oil readout electronically from the dashboard, I much rather manually check it with a real live oil dipstick if I can get one.

I agree, my 2001 SLK230 came with an oil dipstick, but not a transmission dipstick. I always drain my oil, but others prefer the suction method.
I would check with MB to see if there is an oil dipstick available.
