I've always been a bit uncomfortable with the FSS oil change interval but what do I know? The majority of fitted blocks I do have had all the oil changes done on time, but just barely. I've been told by MB engineers that the FSS system works well, but sludging will start soon after the mileage interval has elapsed.
