When should I get an oil change?
My 2012 C350 coupe only has approx 5000 miles on it but it has been a year since I purchased the vehicle? What are your guys' thoughts on getting an oil change? Wait until later or change the oil now? Also approx how much does it cost for an oil change at the MB dealership?

Your dashboard will tell you when you need to change the oil.

12 months or 10K miles. Whichever comes first....

The conservative approach is 12 months or 10K miles as johnny--2K stated.

Using the arrows on your steering wheel scroll right until you find service assist.

Depending on your dealership it can be pretty pricey. My dealership had a coupon, for $189. I think their regular price was $229. I think I might do mine myself next time, lol.

Why would it be so expensve?

In Toronto, the oil change is typically around $150 CAN. This inludes the oil filter and 8L of Mobile-One 0w40.
