The 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK300 is a very difficult vehicle to maintain and is only recommended to those with the patience and tools to complete complex repairs. You will have to remove multiple panels from under the vehicle to reach the oil drain plug. This will require you to contend with gravity as you complete. To change the headlight, you must remove the entire wheel well lining as well as the tire. Other models will not require this tedious process. You will have to complete unique steps using the wiper stalk to raise the front wiper blade. Then you will need to use a tool to remove it.
Some things are easier on the 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLK300. Connecting your phone via Bluetooth is simple, as there are easy to follow steps in the electronic menu. Other models will make this process more convoluted. The engine coolant reservoir is easily visible in the left part of the engine bay.
