any problem if I go to my local Jiffy Lube with manual in hand and say "please?!?" I love what they do for my 95 GMC Suburban!
Jiffy Lube ? I would suggest ABSOLUTELY NOT !!! First of all, they don't have the right oil filter, and secondly I personally don't want a 17yr old changing my oil OR even touching my car. Either do it yourself, or take it to a MB mechanic. Do a search on Oil changes for our Crossfires ..... it should tell you a lot. Just my $.02
EDIT: Tired Retired beat me to it ..... LOL
