As far as changing the oil, it is a really easy (even for a non-tech type person like me). I purchased an oil extractor on Amazon.com. I also used an OEM fleece filter. You can do an entire oil change with these products within 30 minutes, without getting any oil on your hands.
Truly easy.

Seriously, it is strange that a dealer would use something other than what the factory recommends. I'm sure you are good.
If you look at the back of any of the other viscocities of Mobile 1, none carries the 229.5 certification for MB's. I am just playing it safe by using the 0-40w.
