The issue you have with MB is no more than any of a number of manufacurers who market cars through the reduced cost of service. I have no idea how to change that issue.

Steve, what do you mean by "the legal issue with MB doesn't apply"?
I thought the result of the suit was MB obligated to stand behind their product even with reduced service intervals. If memory serves, sludge build-up was one tell tale sign of this problem, whether using synth or not. As long as the owner maintained service intervals per MB's recommendation, MB extended the warranty to, well over 100,000 miles.
