Also if I'm not mistaken, all the dealership wants to see if you do your own oil changes is a receipt for the oil/filter with the mielage noted correct?

How do you find out if a particular oil meets this spec? I was planning on using Amsoil Synthetic or Castrol Edge Synthetic?

I saw this posted here - somewhere - I thought.

Believe it or not, some OEM's actually use oil extractors as the reccomended tool. I think Mercedes-Benz is one of them. That being said they don't work well in all cars, depends on the shot you have to the pan from the dip stick tube.
Doesn't seem like a good idea at all to try and pull old oil against gravity. You would always leave a little in the car.
I went ahead and spent a little extra for my oil change needs.
