it was a bitch changing the oil on my 98 sl i used a mobil1 oil filter and valvaline oil.

the filter was in an odd place and i had to jack both sides up with stands and reused the rubber drain plug seal.

am i better off doing that work or trusting these 5 minute oil change places next time.

 

the easiest way i've found is remove the splash plate next to the filter and just cut the wheels towards the driver side for easy access to the filter otherwise yea its a bit of a pain but still do able

 

you're better off replacing the rubber drain plug seal.....
