0-60mph after first oil change.
Just got my first oil change few days ago (8500km), and felt the car was more smooth then before; therefore, I decided to check the 0-60mph time of my C230 and my friends cars. The test was tested with G-Tech Pro, and here is the result.
C230K- after run-in(1600km): 8.1sec
after first oil change(8500km) 7.5sec. Same as the # post by MB
02' RSX auto - 8.47sec
02' Sentra SE-R auto - 8.2sec
01' Volvo V40 (modified) - 6.87sec

I didn't do any G-tech experiments, but my impression was that the car was much peppier after the first service A.

My guess is that your motor is just better broken in from the time of the last 0-60 measurements. Most cars continue to improve their 0-60 times as they break in - some even have much better times with 30000 miles than they do when new.
