Does anyone have pics or video of an oil change in an '18 M240? I'm curious about the oil filter location and if it's a knuckle buster to get it out.

The filter is located on the intake side of the engine, buried under a cover. You’ll need a 32mm shallow 6-point socket and either a wobble end extension or a universal. I used the latter. The top cover has to come off as well as a second black cover between the intake and the electronix. Engine takes 6.5 quarts of oil.

I've got the universal. I'll have to get a 32mm socket. Sounds fairly easy with the right tools?

Yup. The socket has to be shallow as there’s not a lot of room between the filter housing cap and the surrounding stuff. Once the cap is loose you can remove it by hand.
