Question Oil change

Hello everyone,
Is it true that MB doesn't do complimentary oil change for 4 years of the basic factory warranty anymore?
If yes then is it fine to change oil during Services A and B or better to do it more often like every 3K or 5K miles?

I only do service once per year. As far as I know these cars don’t need it changed every 3-5 miles. It’s every 10,000 miles or at service a and b.

Modern not high performance or rarely driven cars on modern oil don’t generally need oil changes more then once every year or 10000 miles (whichever is first) although once mileage starts getting up there (80000 miles +), more like every 5K is probably the right move. Also, if your driving is mostly very short distance and city driving, maybe a little sooner, like 8k miles, is the right move - these turbocharged engines seem to run best with lots of highway miles and lots of time to warm up and lube up.

I don’t know when the last time MB offered complimentary maintenance was (in the US at least), but it’s not recent. Bmw has been doing that recently, but not MB.

The time I had my previous MB car (2005-2010) the services A and B were complimentary (free) during factory warranty period.
