M112 C320 V6 engine oil 10w40

Sounds to me you need to get a oil extractor pump and start doing it yourself

It’s dead easy and rewarding, chose a recommended fully synthetic oil and quality filter, then you know it’s been done properly.
Go to MB 229.51 - Low SPAsh multigrade service engine oils - Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Operating Fluids and choose your oil spec and see what is approved.
I use Fuchs fully synthetic although you can get MB genuine oil from EBay very cheap.

Go and get your hands mucky.

He's going to be a 229.5 man now and a 4L extractor won't cut it on a 8L oil capacity 3.2 petrol , go 9L extractor assuming the engine still has a tube to the sump .

Hi all. Thank you, I appreciate the advice and recommendation I do it myself but I'm not confident enough to do the oil change especailly on the terrain of my driveway as its hilly and not flat enough to jack the car up . Though I have bought the fully synthetic Petronas oil 5w-40 which is MB approved 229.5. I've found a Mercedes specialist garage just outside of Leeds who will change the oil and put the correct oil filter in for a very reasonable price. So hopefully that will get sorted and I can go to them from now on and not random garages who have no idea what they're going .

I also called up the stealership Mercedes Benz of Leeds and they were trying to charge me nearly £200 to simply swap the oil out for the Petronas oil I've bought... Not even for a filter or anything that was just for the labour

If you use the suction pump you don’t need a jack, then like some chaps on here you can change your oil every 6 months or 5000 miles for £25 a time. Get someone in the family to watch you do it, just to check your work.

Surely you can't get enough 229.5 5w40 for an M112 for £25? Do you mean £75, bought from MB Newcastle online?

Probably 20L at £75 divided by 3 = £25 a go (roughly) for 8L per change (roughly)
