I have always changed my own oil and I've done it hundreds of times through out my life, but I have never owned a Mercedes! Is there any special tools? are there any pdf diagrams that would be helpful? Any helpful tricks? I can buy the Mobil 1 and a filter for about $50 vs about $200 at the local shops. I know I will have to shell out the big bucks for certain maintenance items but I think I can save some money here. Also can anyone recommend a good maintenance manual that would be helpful.

Thank you in advance for your help.

George
