I think I read from somewhere that Mercedes and some other European manufactures put their oil filters on the top, and they use pumps to extract oil from dipstick hole, as their standard oil change service procedure.

I wonder since this car has a top mounted oil filter, is it OK not to go under the car for the oil change?
