one more on bringing oil, filter and filter wrench to an oil change shop. The only hassle is that I have to get them to let the car sit for an hour while the oil drains.
So I can't show up when the place is busy.
Autozone frequently has the 5 for $25 on Syntec 10w40. Filters I can get for $10 each on Ebay or PAP-parts, etc. The oil change shop charges about $25.
I don't like messing with ramps. Has anyone ever tried siphoning the oil out with the pumps they use in Mercedes service departments? Or is it just not possible with this engine set up?
