Oil Changes
-MB seems to recommend every 13k miles/1yr due to modern tech and the quality of Mobil 1.
-Many owners recommend according to the traditional 3-5k schedule (which every MB mechanic has told me is completely unnecessary on new cars).
Before 10k miles I can feel the difference, so the ideal may be somewhere in between at about 6.5k miles.
Besides, it's best to avoid unnecessary trips to a repair shop--anytime you take a vehicle in for service there is also a risk of damage (speaking from personal experience here).
Thanks for all of the helpful information.

(I know this is the Wrong Section. Just sharing the Thoughts on MB)
This is my first Mercedes. And with this Car. Right now Mileage is at 237 K and still runs AMAZING. Just bought a OBD2 Scanner to help with some issues I might run into in the future. And is the oil change really only necessary at 13k with mobile1? even if I drive it daily? I plan on changing it on the regular interval but just want to know the ropes of this car.

change the oil every 13k or year whichever is first in my book. Use mobil1 or any mb spec approved oil. the oil used on european cars is formulated to last that long.

201K miles.
I have new belts, air filter, fuel filter, front brakes, spark plugs, and an exhaust gasket ready to go to take her to the next 100K miles, and a 2nd mileage award.
Was planning to do the work today but the temps just went to 90 degrees, so F it.
