Yes!.. you're right, but the manual for 2010 does not differentiate between the two. In fact it says "All Models".... this is wrong just like the octane sticker inside the filler door.

I have an early 2010 and my manual on page 318 says "ALL MODELS" 8.5 US qt (8.01) which I assume is liters. That is Engine with oil filter. I have always used 8.5 qts and the dip stick reads just fine.

That's what I mean, check with the dealer for an oil quantity update, not for them to do it. We change our own oil as well on our 2010 4-Matic and 8.5 US quarts with filter is way over the top on our dipstick! The 2011's have the same engine/tranny and their OM says 7.5 US quarts on 4-Matic...

It's very interesting you mentioned that. I was bored the other day and started to check all my service records from dealer. I realized every time they charge me 9 US quarts of oil, there did they put all that?!! I know one quart is like 6,7 bucks, but it's still a rip-off!!
Another thing to notice is most recent oil change they used penzoil, I'm assuming it's still the platinum european formula which is MB 229.5 approved. They better used that, I would be pissed if not.

When I bring our vehicles for an oil change to the dealership, as far as i know they have been using Mobil 1 oil. I never bothered checking though. But, as to my knowledge, that is what they have been using.
