The drain plug is in the same location that pretty much every other manufacturer puts it...at the bottom of the engine oil pan.





As for the filter, it's a synthetic fibre filter ( holds up longer compared to conventional paper filters for the extended oil change intervals ). It's also not the conventional canister type of spin-on filter that most manufacturers use. Rather, it's a cartridge that slips directly on to the underside of the permanent plastic filter housing. You will need a special tool to remove that filter housing and don't forget to replace all the o-rings that come with the filter cartridge. Not doing so may result in oil leaks.What kind of oil filter does a 98 mercedes ml320 use?
just adding to JAYP, its mercedes part number 000 180 26 09, make sure you get a good one from the dealer or on the aftermarket by the OEM suppliers either Mann or Knecht-Mahle.
