The issue is not the oil in the pan, it’s the oil in the filter housing & a topsider won't help there.
Anyway, I don't believe the 115 bodies were designed for topsiders. I've not had the pan off any of the ones I owned but we did pull the lower pan off a friends when we discovered the keeper was missing off his timing chain master link. The dip stick tube was nowhere near the bottom of the pan.

Sure wish I had known about them back when I had those cars! I guess if I do end up with this Mercedes, it's back to 'oil down to my > elbow' every time I change the oil. -- OK Don W124 Diesels Ubuntu 8.10 KD5NRO -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
