Thanks for the inputs. I currently have a 92' 400E and a 98' LandCruiser, so I am very familiar with expensive oil changes. I use Castrol Syntec 5W-50 in all my cars. Due the extreme costs, I now change my own oil and do all my brake work. My local MB dealer joked at hiring me after seeing my quality disc/pad replacements.

I do have one question, how much oil does an ML 430 take with a filter change? 8.5 qts? My 400E takes 8.5 and my LC takes 7.5. At times I wish that Castrol sold oil in a case of 24 vs. 6......
