Dolebludger,

I have no lift or pit to do my own oil changes, I just jack the car up on jack stands and pull the drain plug. It gives me a chance to look under the car for potential problems.

If you want to suck the oil out I believe the only option you have is to suck it out of the oil filter pipe tube.

Mpolli,

I can't tell you why this is a good thing mainly because I don't believe it is a good thing, however I believe that the newer Mercedes use an electronic dipstick where you can monitor the level from the dash display.
