Hi Guys,
I recently purchased a MityVac Oil fluid extractor to make my Mercedes
oil changes a little easier. There has been some concern throughout my
research that it doesn't get enough oil out and the plug is the best method.
To test that I extracted oil from my 2004 E320 4matic and then removed the oil
plug to see how much was missed and it was about 1/4 of an ounce. I did spend
about an hour insuring that all the oil had returned to the pan after I warmed
it up and the ground was level.
I am getting read to change the oil on my daughter's 2011 C300 next
week when she visits and here is my question: Should I change it on level
ground or will parking on a hill either facing up or down potentially remove
more oil? I have a steep driveway. I am basically trying to figure out if the
dip stick (where I place the extraction tube) in the front, rear or center of
the pan. Anyone know if that would have made a difference when I changed the
oil on the 2004 E320?
Also what is the oil capacity of the 2011 C300? Internet research gave me two
different capacity numbers.
Obsessive I know...........
Thanks,
Bob
