Hello all,

Great forum, some interesting stuff here! I've read my manual back and forth and cannot find out where the dipstick tube is located on my CLK500A 2005 model. I purchased a topsider oil vacuum and a fleece filtee and wanted to do my own oil change. To use the topsider, you have to insert a tube down the neck of the metal dipstick tube. Only problem is there is no dipstick anywhere in site. There's a red cap attached to a tube towards the rear of the engine. I was told bya few that this is the way in, but wanted to be 100% sure before attempting this as several folks ahve said this was for tranny fluid.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Also how do I get the second half of the engine cover off? I want to change the air filters as well.

Thanks
Nicky
