how often do u change you engine oil?

I changed my engine oil at 1500mile and I have about 7200mile on it...would it be a time for me to change the tire and engine oil??
In addition to that, if I ask them, will they change my rear differencial oil as well?

I change my oil when I go for my regularly scheduled maintenance. Once every 20,000km.

You do realize the 1500 mile service was just an inspection? The first oil change isn't due until 13,000. Did your dealership even talk to you? The car is running with 8 quarts of Mobil1 Full synthetic (not 4-5 qts like most engines). Your service department must LOVE you

As part of my new-car purchase deal, the dealership has included Mobil 1 oil and filter changes every 5k or 6 months for as long as I own the vehicle. I was their first customer to include this in a deal.

Yeah, don't waste money and resources by thinking old school of changing oil every 3,000 miles.

If the MB engineers tell me the car only needs oil changes every 13,000 miles than who am I to argue with them.
