Before starting, open the front bonnet of your Mercedes SLK. Begin by unscrewing and removing the top cap where the engine oil is added. Next, lift the front of your vehicle.

This will allow you to access the lower drain nut, which you need to unscrew and remove to let all the engine oil out. Once the engine oil has completely drained, re-screw the lower nut, then lower the front. At this point, add the new oil through the top hole, then re-screw the corresponding cap, and you will have successfully completed the change.
