I have 99 ML320 and the engine failed at 77K miles. I worked with the laywer who actually filed the class action suit (Francis J. Farina). The MBZ dealership used to change conventional oil on my ML but they reset FSS to 10,000 miles until 35K miles, so I drove 8K-10K miles on regular oil. Even though there was en evidence of sludge, MBZ declined to repair the engine under this class action suit, but agreed to reimburse 50% or expenses.
I have collected a lot of informaiton about this class action suit, so if you are interested I can e-mail or post this info.
