I know there is ALOT of discussion on oil but I gatta ask GreasyBenz on the 5K limit? When I purchased my '99 E300, I was floored by the MB dealer salesman & service manager, as they told me to change every 15K. I do it every 10K without any apparent problems.

What am I missing? The MobilOne is great stuff, let's let it do it's job. I also put on 3.5 K miles per month so time flys, and the oil is not sitting in the crankcase for very long.

I always get a kick when they say that the crude oil Must be changed every year minimum, Heck it sat in the ground for millions before we found it????
