Thanks Paul.

The fuel filter was the subject of my post. On this car it's not where you would normally expect it, i.e. near the right rear wheel.

I did a coolant change, which took a while, and didn't get around to looking for the fuel filter. My guess is it might be behind the fuel tank in the trunk.

By the way, about the coolant change. Eight quarts drained out of the radiator. I went to a lot of trouble to drain the block, and got a total of 1/2 quart out of both nipples, so it was a total waste of time removing all the covers undeneath to get access.

Shame on me for reading really quickly, I thought you said oil filter. Now I feel obligated to find the thing!

FUEL PUMP PACKAGE. Fits: 2009 Mercedes SL 63 AMG Convertible | Mercedes-Benz of South Atlanta

It looks like its right above the fuel pump, just under the fuel tank outlet.
