I use Mobil 1 Turbodiesel Truck 5W-40 I think. It takes 8 quarts so make sure you have a large enough drain container to avoid a mess!

I also believe you will need a large socket (I think 42mm large) to remove the cover for the oil filter element.

Or a large croissant wrench works too...

The filter cap is 36mm. Rotella is not an approved oil; M1 European Blend 0W/40 was the factory fill.
You can download an owners manual from MBUSA's site.

I thought that the Oil and Filter change time depended on the type of driving you do?
Short trips with stop and go City driving or extensive high speed driving shorten the Oil Change time.

One of the OBDII reported parameters is calculated load. It's probably more complicated than this but in my mind, I imagine some sort of load/time calculation that controls how fast the service mileage racks up.
