Mercedes and many other manufacturers have used the extraction oil system for over 10 years In dealer service.
It‘s fast, simple, no lift, no drain plug, filter is serviced from the top, 100% of the oil is removed.
Some manufacturers design the dip stick tube to be used with an extractor.
Good or bad news........but.......In the future we likely see the drain plugs disappear. Same with metal oil filter witha change to element style filters. Oil filter in land fills are a concern.......element style are more friendly to recycled waste.
Extraction oil changes are not new.........common on inboard boats for 70 years or more.
I have used an extraction device for my RV for 10 years. Checked the drain plug after sucking it dry.......not a drop of oil came out. 13 qts of HOT oil in minutes with no mess. The common method is a stiff nylon tube down the dip stick tube, but the technique varies with manufacturers and models. Most are air powered vacuum pump, electric and hand pumps are common just not in a dealer. Those boats used a drill powered pump.
Obviously this is not DIY system..........Link Mercedes dealer system:
