I am planning to start doing my own oil change service on my recently acquired '95 W124 wagon but wanted to read something about the procedure. I have searched the archives to nary avail. Its first change since my ownership was performed by an indy shop that I had do initial service on the car.

I am a 'veteran' do-my-own-oil-change-guy of many years so I am well capable of the task, it's just, uh, umm - well :::AHEM COUGH::: er uh where's the OIL FILTER?!

Oh yeah, one more question - what are your thoughts on switching over to fully synthetic oil on this 'low' miles motor? It just turned 80K last evening.

Thanks for the replies and I do understand that the first hour of consultation is free?!



NOTE: Since I posted this, I have done a search on "synthetic oil" and have several days of reading to do! Comment on YOUR thoughts if you have experience with the 320 motor and synthetic oils.
