I'm guessing you will replace the filter in the pan? New filter, new pan bolts, new gasket put 4~5 liters in the pan then check the level via the tube, add as necessary to cold level then bring car up to operating temperature and check again via the tube with a dip stick. The 2005 CLK has no dip stick tube, level is reached by bringing car up to temp and then letting excess drain out the plug. I bit more detailed than that, but you get the picture.
