I spoke to a Mercedes Service Manager and was instructed NOT to change my own filter. The filter itself requires special tools to remove safely. He also told me that the filter fitting designs have changed over the years and alot of the time not only the filter, but also some of the connecting hoses, need to be changed as well. Changing the hoses requires the back seats, floor, and wheel well to be removed. In optimal shop settings, it takes a qualified Mercedes mechanic over 2 hours to complete the change. I'm a pretty savvy DIYer when it comes to vehicles.... but this repair has real potential to become a Pandora's Box of issues. Sorry folks, but i think this one is better left to the professionals.
