By the way... the owners manual is wrong for 2010. The oil capacity for the 3.5L V6 4-Matic is 7.5 US quarts, not 8.5.

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.
On page 334.

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.
