We use magnets in the Canton
oil Filter end caps..... on both the pressure and scavenge side of the dry sump pump. This captures any metal particles that are floating around in the
oil. and they work well for us to inspect as well.
The idea of evacuating the oil out of the motor turn out to be a good one that Mercedes came up with and we used it on KMP259 .... especially with that belly pan.... it's torqued into place on the frame rails and changing the oil had to be done another way. The good thing is that now we can see what we are dealing with and can help us diagnose a problem before it happens ....
And then we have to evacuate the Dry Sump Tank and then run the motor for approximately 4 minutes at about 2500- 3000 rpm's and then evacuate the Dry Sump Tank again ..... that get's the other 7 Quarts out of the motor and oil Cooler. lot's of oil in this car.
