My Mercedes Diesel (617.) is the easily easiest and cleanest oil change of any vehicle I have ever owned, including yard equipment. I use a topsider which seems to remove more oil than the drain plug.
On a semi-related note, I have an Outback where you have to unscrew the oil filter from under the car. The filter is surrounded by exhaust pipes and oil gets all over these pipes. And then it really smells when they heat up. I found that if I cut the bottom out of a plastic soda bottle which is slightly bigger (in diameter) than the filter, It made a great way to catch this stray oil. I pass the socket extension through the mouth of the inverted, bottomless bottle, snap an end-type filter wrench on the extension and hold the bottle up against the block as I loosen the filter. The bottle acts as a funnel to guide spilled oil into the drip pan. > -----Original Message----- > From: Curt Raymond > > Heres another reason to love your MB. > ... _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
