OK. I'm getting pretty good at it. After learning from the good folks here, I did it again. This was my third DIY oil/filter service for my C230. Much less mess this time. This one will last me until my Spring 90k service. After getting things warmed up during a few errands Sunday afternoon, the whole job took about forty-five minutes. Driving all over town today, I'm amazed how smooth she runs.

Way to go Michael, even the pro's get oil inside their coveralls sometimes . I've got an oil change on my diesel down to about 3 minutes of work and 15 minutes of dripping time, the warranty is almost up on the 300CE so that will be a new experience .
