quick poll....
Just wanted to get a quick poll of how many of you go by the MB service lights for oil changes/maint and how many get oil changes every 3-4000 miles?
If you go by the MB service lights, how often are you getting an oil change? Is it much more than every3k miles?
Thanks!!

Oil Change
I change the oil every 5,000 miles. I would say the FSS would authorize a change every 10,000. The only problem with changing the oil is that synthetic oil is expensive (an oil change costs me about $138.) and by changing the oil, the FSS now recomputes your interval, extending it by several thousand miles.
