How hard is it to change Mercedes-Benz CLS550 oil at home?

First off, changing your own oil isn’t as easy as you’d think. It requires special tools and old oil must be disposed of properly. Having your oil professionally changed reduces the chances of something going wrong with the oil change, but also help your car perform down the road.

Why is my Mercedes-Benz CLS550 spewing blue or gray exhaust smoke?
