29k miles so far , i like yourtube 
weekend job for DIY folks , 3-4 H all with basic complicity
Changed Cabin filter
2 engine filters
and did oil change
Mobile 5W-40 ESP Formula M 229.5 was hard to find
Fortunately my local NAPA shop has it for sale 6.99 1Q
You will need 8Q to replace it ( manual said 8.5Q ) , it comes to the MAX level on my dipstick

This thread has some great info, thanks. I'd do the rotors and pads if I had the time. Instead of scraping my knuckles I chase my 18month old around on the weekends now. I'll let the local shop do it this time, but the info is great to have for the future.

Well even if I had the time I don't know where you're getting those service manual documentation pages. That's the key to a healthy diy habit. You have some place that you bought a copy?
Edit: I was asking someone else about this the other day and here's what he told me
WIS is Workshop Information System, and it also came with EPC (Electronic Parts Catalog). There's a web site (mbwis.com) where you can buy it from Mercedes. These are our shop manuals. I believe the 2012 WIS and EPC are $70 each from Mercedes, and that's why I chose a hacked apart version from eBay for a fraction of the cost. By hacked apart, I mean hand burned DVD's and instructions on how to piece it together so it runs as a Windows XP VM. It's massive, so I bought a 64GB flash drive so it can be used where any decent strength Windows laptop is available. It works fine on my 8.1 notebook.
Note--I'm sure someone will correct my mistake, but I believe WIS and EPC are massive because they cover all Mercedes/SMART vehicles from mid 80's to in this case 2012.
I need to spend more time with it, because something as simple as finding the right procedure to replace brake pads all around for a W212 seemed more effort than pulling the wheel off and figuring it out. Plug in your VIN and it filters content, which helps.

2010 Mercedes E350
Tire sizes for e350
Has anyone ever changed out the tires on an E 350 so that all the tires are the same size. If so, what was the effect on the speedometer calibration. I'm not knocking the German engineering, I'd just like to be able to rotate the entire set of 4 at the same time. :nix

I have staggered set up which means rear are wider than front so i cant rotate
Usually i use 2 rear sets for 1 front set
When i got this car ( 23k miles ) i replaced rear tires , my expectation that front will last ~40k miles so in ~20k miles
i will just replace all 4 corners

my rear rotors look similar to this , my rear brakes are soon to be replaced , can i just replace the brakes (wihout brakes vibrating after) or is it better to replace the whole rotor and pad kit? thanks.

Might not be worth switching from a staggered to a square set-up. You'll have to replace the wheels to have the same width so the fronts can be put on the rears on rotation. The car also has a stock negative rear camber, that by the time you put the rears to the fronts you're really just sacrificing the handling integrity. So, if your alignment is upto spec changing the set on the rears in between having to change the fronts might come out to be the same amount of time and money. Specially if you take into consideration buying new wheels for the square set up.
