8.5 quarts of Mobil1 0W40 (Euro) oil and a fleece filter/kit. The filter is not your usual can type, it is installed on a spit arrangement from the top.
Use the search function and you will find plenty of threads on this subject.
Pleanty of them.
Most folks use a suction-type device to extract the oil through the dipstick tube. This is the way Mercedes will do it. Others do the normal jack it up and drain it. There is a replaceable washer/gasket if you go that route.
Do some reading and it will be clear!
www.slkworld.com has a great how-to section. Our cars are built on the R170 platform and these how-to's work for us.
Mostly.

Drivers Handbook and shop manual says that, everyone else says different.
I'll go with what the general consensus is, 8 liters give or take.

Look at the thread date before answering it.
Ansa muffler advise
I'm looking to put the Ana's sport muffler on that I purchased nearly two years ago. I have somewhat of a delima.
1. Had to purchase my own stainless steel pipe, flange and hangers, because every muffler shop seems to only use aluminized steel; now I'm told the can bend it but not a mandrel bend, so bends won't be uniformed.
2. I dont care for the Ansa straight round tips, but don't want to cut off original tips ( so I can always go back to original). I have to sets of other after market stainless tips, but so far no shop can bend. 2" dia. Pipe in a 5" approx. length in a "s" shape/curve like the original muffler exists.
For the work around this particular road block, I've considered using stainless flex piping to connect my tip options. What do you guys think of flex exhaust pipe used to connect tips to muffler or flex pipe in general?
