Hey Hiper. MB doesn't want you to pull the drain plug to change the oil. They put the filter on top for that reason. They expect you to suck the oil out of the dipstick tube. There are several oil change pumps around. Griots has the nicest one for about a hundred dollars. Air operated. They also have a manual one for about $50. JC Whitney also has some too. As far as the oil change interval. MB holds more oil than most engines so the interval is much longer. Hope that helps
