A question about IDParts GLK250 service packages

IDParts sells convenient packages to service our cars.

Here is how I'm getting a little lost.

They sell :

A- an oil change package (oil + filter) for 60$.
B- a complete filter package (air, fuel, cabin and oil filter) for 155$.
C- a 40k service package (air, fuel, cabin, oil filter and oil) for 250$.

So A + B has everything included in C for a grand total of 215$ and you have an extra oil filter once the job is done. Or you could buy C for 35$ more, for absolutely no reason.

Am I missing something?

Have you noticed that their oil is Total Quartz Ineo MC3 5w30 (I prefer Mobil 1 or Mercedes) and filter is MANN - good, but not GENUINE Mercedes?

I got for my 2014 GLK250 and 2016 GLE300d the "MERCEDES-BENZ 6511800109 GENUINE OEM OIL FILTER" on eBay for $12.00 plus 7 quarts of "5W-30 Mercedes Full-Synthetic Engine Oil 229.52" from www.ecstuning.com for $7.83 quart. Total order is $66.81

Good to know.

You can «upgrade» to Mobil1 oil on IDParts, it just adds a few $ to your order.

Also, I'm not sure it would be worth ordering oil online for me (exchange rate, shipping, brokerage, duties, etc...), given that a quart probably costs 13$ here.

For the filters though, it's a no brainer. The package costs 155$ whereas all these seame filters at the dealer cost 332$ + taxes.
