Do you think that the service caused the problem ?
Was the car serviced by a Mercedes dealer .?
What was done at the service ?.Air filter? Was the MAF touched?
How may Km has the car done?
Sounds as if the car does not have the correct fuel/air ratio.
You mention an oil change. The oil specified by MB for diesels is 229.51 . It should show this on the packaging.
Do you have a DPF ( Diesel Particulate Filter) It could be blocked.
I can't think of a relationship between the engine problem & the ESP Code.
Have there been any other codes displayed ?.

You are obviously overfueling.
See thread Carsy posted re Cats & DPF. I could well be Cats or DPF if fitted.
Also make them check:
Turbo - coked bearings can restrict spool up.
Turbo wastegate controller & module.
Delphi injectors. A known problem.
Post stored codes.

You must use the approved 229.51 oils. However there is no way the oil has caused this problem just after change.

You should have a proper diagnosis from a MB technician or an experienced diesel service mechanic.
Think about where you last filled up with fuel. Does it coincide with the problem?
Let us know the outcome.
