Oil changes and performance chips
the dealer told me to get the first oil change 12000 miles or a year but it doesnt seem right, i was wondering when a good time is and what oil should i put for best performance, also i was wondering where i could find a solid performance chip for my car. thanks

I've always felt it is a good idea to get that first oil change at 1K miles...something to do with possible metal particles from a new engine. After that, go with whatever you feel comfortable, but I always get it changed about every 5K miles even though MB says 10K miles. Might be a waste, but is cheap insurance in my mind.
Mobile One full synthetic is recommended, but AMSoil is what I use and recommend. My SA is even a dealer for it.
