You'll want a MB 229.5 spec syn oil and a German filter such as Knecht or Mahle. Both available here. M1 0W/40 Euro Blend is popular for your year. I believe that oil was the factory fill.

You can drain from the oil pan or suck through the dip stick tube. Both are acceptable. You'll need to remove the middle belly pan to drain from the bottom.

You OM has the reset instructions. Look under FSS. Close the front door before attempting to reset, or it wont work.
Thankd for the info. Done lots of oil changes but every car is different, especially MB.
