    4. Finishing Up

    After draining the oil. Place it in the canister for disposal. Put the drainage plug back in place.

    Now you can begin to fill it with the oil you purchased.

    Remove the cap on the top of the engine cover.



    Use the funnel to pour in the oil.



    Replace the cap. Re-screw the plastic guard onto the bottom of your car (do the back screws first as the front have a small amount of room to move).

    DONE!



    I will be doing my front brakes Tomorrow!

    The oil filter on the 94 C280 is at the back of the engine on the right side, and it takes almost 7.6 quarts. AND, I worry about anyone who uses yellow gloves while changing the oil, you just can't get the real feel for the work you are doing.

    That's a good point. Maybe the OP could put which model this was done on as the different models have different oil capacities.
