Is the supercharged using engine oil? I didn't think it did.

M112 V-6 equipped (1998-) C280 cars have no head gasket issues. You're confusing that engine with the earlier M104 I-6 engine. M112 engines have crank-posistion sensor issues (easy and not terribly expensive, but don't throw codes so can be an issue to diagnose) and harmonic balance problems (hopefully all solved with a campaign by now).
