I agree. People buy a new Mercedes and understand that the maker would provide the best information possible regarding the care of their car. There is no shortage of debate concerning oil change intervals. With large capacities and FSS systems, it makes sense that there might be longer intervals.
However, it seems that most every maker has jumped on the gun on 20K-miles oil change intervals. Lexus/Toyota and Mercedes are all plagued with sludging in engines using these super long intervals.
Toyota and Mercedes had to be pressured into making good (MB had to be sued) on these broken engines.
For shame.
