Even though the book says different, 3000 miles for oil; 15000 miles for a new paper filter or time to clean you K&N.

Why not follow the book? Is this the Service A and Service B? What kind of oil should be used?

Your book should list what viscosity is recommended for your weather and temp. Use only fully synthetic oil. Mercedes recommend Mobil 1 but and high quality synthetic oil will work. Probably 10W40. That's just a good standard oil when your in doubt.
