As most do when it comes to DIY, I've been doing oil changes on all my cars the old fashioned way... Lift the car and drain from the sump plug.
I've been looking at the extraction via dipstick tube method and although I was hesitant at first its starting to look rather an attractive method considering the Mercs have a under body cover which needs to be removed first.
How do you folks do your oil changes?
For those that use extractors which type do you prefer?
