I always find it difficult to get the filter housing back into place.
The opening does not allow much room so you have to mostly work by feel.
If the car was on a hoist, it likely would be an easy task but on the
ground, I don't find it to be easy. I only do it about once a year so I
don't get a whole lot of practice.

Most probably do, but even the MB dealer sucks from the top of the
dipstick tube.
It's that reliable. Not, however, on the W114/W115, which pre-dates
this system.

But it doesn't much matter on the W115 anyway given you have to deal
with the old style oil filter from underneath in any event. That is much
worse than draining the pan.
