if you feel more piece of mind by taking it in and having them do it, more power to you.
as far as where to buy oil (for people not in Texas) is worth it
http://store.parkplacestores-mb.com/mo1syoil0.html
9.50 shipping per order to your door (6.79/quart)0w40
invest in an oil extractor, add a oil fiter and you'll be kicking yourself for ever paying $100 for "free coffee"

It all comes out in the wash>>>>.I have and do own both MB and BMW and its a pretty level playing field when it comes to service. I maintain the same relationship with the BMW shop guys as I do with MB and its dead even over 4 years
Don't you agree Nick?? You have both too....no??

It also gives you the opportunity to keep in touch with the shop foreman and drop off something for the front line guys . Starbucks in winter and Ice Caps in summer. Keeps everyone happy and on a first name basis. That goes a long long way to having you car really looked after and always having a MB loaner on hand whenever you need it. First line demo's too. Well worth the effort
As well, as part of my purchase deal with my dealer there are 2 cases of 0-40, Mobile 1 in the trunk on delivery. I am down to my last liter from the C55. The 63 better get here soon....

I personaly could care less how people service there cars. I used to change my oil and breaks on my 1993 Mazda B200. But were talking about an AMG motor that you guys are all so proud to own. And im sure when you go to sell it some day and the buyer ask's is it fully serviced by the dealer? I wonder what you will say. If some one told me they did it them self, sure bro i'll be right back with the money.
Like I said its your car and may only be your car in the future.Cus I would buy my pre-owned C63 from 1st AMG or North 44.... Oh ya and Glock Guru cus he seems to have changed his MINE!! Just buggin ya Glock I know you ment mind.

First oil change here in the UK is as per ASSYT on dash [Last message given was Next Service A in 300 days]
Dont think there is a first oil change option in Europe

2500mls
Just phoned my local MB dealer & asked about the 1500kms service , no such thing in Europe? So I have booked my self & brothers in for next week for oil change only.Cost of mobil 1 from MB dealer is $31.00 per litre
Sod that off to costco where it is $40.00 per litre.
Probably a good thing to do as both cars have required top up of oil.
I wonder what the labour charge will be , keep you posted!

Appoligies meant 4.5litres !
Actually our own home grown Malt whisky is cheaper to purchase in other countries due to the 70% tax our GOVT put on it.:

By the way, Wal-Mart sells Mobile One 0-W40 (European Formula M1 calls it) for $5.97 per. qt. Pick up a filter at the dealer, oil from WM and there you go.
