use Mobil1 OW 40, or at least check it out. I use the mercedes filter wrench to remove filter cover. I think both drain plug and filter cap are tightened to 18 ft. lbs.

front brakes are easy, as I recall OEM pads come with new caliper bolts.

And new brake wear sensors are a dollar-fifty each

some say that Mercedes brake pad paste is the only paste to use on the back of the pads to prevent squeal.

Rotors on Benz don't get turned but replaced.

brake pistons get pushed with a c-clamp as opposes to being twisted in.

have the little lug hole centering tool that should be in the tool kit to replace wheel.

also I cannot remember if it was the front or rear brakes but the tool kit wrench was just the right thickness for working on the caliper bolt - just he right thickness
