Noob question, is it possible do do an oil change on the CMS 2012 through a vacuum pump? Also is there any tool where you can reset the counter and set the oil change to whatever number you feel like?

Not sure about the second question, but you can use an oil extractor to remove the oil thru the dipstick tube. I bought a Pela 6000 and tried it this weekend to remove excess oil the dealer put in. It works great!
