What model chasis is this?
I work on Land Rover Discoverys so I am mechanically inclined but have no knowledge of Mercedes. I figure I can do the oil and basic fluid changes.
Going to start with the oil. Not sure if there was something in the tech section here? Can someone list the steps? I know this is not rocket science but I thought, like Rovers, there might be some quirks. thanks.

STAY with OE filters, Mann/Hengst/or Knecht. Stay away from the WIX!
Stick with 5W-30 or 0W-40 synthetic oil.
You can order OE filters & other parts HERE (PartsShop)
No quirks, rather straightforward if you have changed oil before. Best to warm up engine before changing.
