What is the diameter of the oil filter wrench used to remove the plastic filter cover, is it 76mm width 14 segments.
Also can the oil be drained via the drain plug at the bottom of the sump, reason I ask is all information regarding changing the oil is via the vaccum pump out unit(toploader??)
Thanks

Yes and yes, however draining the oil via the drain plug is messy.
I have always drained the oil from all my cars via the sump drain plug, but, when I looked underneath the ML 270 I decided to invest in a topsider.
I am happy that the Topsider method removes all the oil as the new oil would soon mix with any of the old black oil and show a change in colour which does not happen.
