You list a very basic maintenance list, there are many things to check to be a "full" maintenance. Start with your owners manual. There's a dealers check list too.

Why use synthetics if not necessary? It's a matter of cost, does it's higher cost buy you more longevity or better performance? I used Mobil 1 on my RENNTech modified motor but standard oil on my stock motors. Just replace on schedule.

When in questions, use factory filters, buy them from discount Benz suppliers or eBay bulk for a cost savings.

There are specific plugs for this model and several brands to chose. Don't use Platinum.
