I used this product this past weekend to do an oil change on my 01 S500, I can't stand my local dealership they mess up more things with the car when I bring it to them than I had wrong with it when I brought it to them.

The product is a breeze to use, bought the fuel filter from the dealer, oil from Walmart, Mobile 1 0W40, took the oil fill cap off, loosened the filter, removed the dipstick, connected two hoses together, put one end down the dipstick and connected the other end to the unit and pump it about a dozen times, saw the oil start coming down the hose and filling the container, after about 10-15 minutes it starting sucking air and was filled up to the line indicating 8.5 quarts, not exactly to the line, but very close. Removed the hose, poured the old oil out into plastic containers, filled the car with 8.5 quarts, replaced the filter, started the car, rechecked the oil level via the dipstick and was ok, took the oil to walmart to be recycled and done.

Super easy job, and I know at least it was done right with no leaks.

It is a good product, why crawl under the car unless you have too, some pretty creative people out there, wish I came up with it. :)

Not much else constructive to say to the previous poster who replied to me.
