Nothing is free. You have to buy the car to get the oil changes. Mercedes used to include scheduled maintenance during the warranty, but dropped it in 2005-ish. An MB USA exec stated that customers simply didn't value the included service enough to justify tacking the additional cost onto the car.

When I bought my 99 ML320 new, the salesman said the first scheduled maintenance was free. I took it in for the A Maintenance. When I picked it up, they told me I owed them $190. I reminded them of the "free maintenance." Found out the labor was free. They still charged me for all the supplies including 10 quarts of oil at $12 each and a bunch of other overpriced stuff.

But it taught me to check the details of anything offerred.
