Yeah sure. As respected as M-B's crappy engineering these days is and AMG's superchargers that crap out at 30,000 miles is, the fact remains that there are many things that go on behind the scenes that we aren't aware of. Relationships between companies, partnerships, ownership of shares, etc... we just can't answer all those questions you threw out.
As I stated earlier and as others have stated here, the reason why the oil debates go on forever is because we have people who have run their cars to several hundreds of thousands of miles using just about any type of oil you can put your hands on. And now that extended drain intervals is the in-thing, I can bet with you that someone out there has also achieved long drain intervals with just about any brand of synthetic oil out there. Basically, everyone just has to do what they want with their automobile.
