Do I have to take my E200/184hp to the dealership for an oil change?
I own an E200 Blue Efiencency 184 hp 2011 and would like to change oil. Can I do it myself?
There is a lot of different information about it on Internet.
Do I need MB computer, some extraordinary tools or what?
I know it is Mobile one in my car now. And no warranty.

No, BUT
Actually I no longer do DIY and do not use independents-burned too many times by shoddy work, mistakes, etc. I consider the extra costs as insurance against future problems and conflicts with dealer or MB.
Additionally, the dealership has access to the latest info. from MB re: the cars, TSB's, other updates, etc. Most independents have to pay for this and do they really if they service ALL makes of cars?

At least one of the two people who've responded to you is from the US.IIRC US courts have ruled that one needn't have routine service done by a dealership in order to preserve the factory warranty.But it seems possible to me that Swedish law is different.You'd be wise to consult fellow Swedes regarding this subject just in case my hunch is correct.
