Oil change frequency

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how often are you supposed to change the oil in a c32. The Service A & B intervals are at 10k miles which includes the oil changes, but that seems like a long time to me. I'm used to changing oil in all my cars at 3k miles; though 8.5 quarts every 3k miles can get a bit steep.

Thanks

benz recommends that u change it very service, but the way i drive i usually change it ever 5000 Miles. and i think its an easy way to keep the car healthy, and in good condition and its really easy to change the oil u can do it sitting in ur garage, without even having to jack ur car off the ground.

I change every 5k too. I use the included service A/B, then pay for an extra oil change in between. My dealer does it for $99.

wow $99 oil change thats cheep, my deal charges 200+tax for an oil change and they really wont do it between service unless u really put ur foot down. so that is why i do it at home and it cost me about $90 CAD to do an oil change at home.
