Got my first oil change with Service A at about 11,000 miles. However, in the future I am going to get the oil changed every 6500 miles or so.

The MB people are a little vague aren't they? I believe the official line is something like every 12,000 miles. For those of us who grew up with 350 Chevys that's a little hard to take. My service guy said that he would probably change it every 7500 or so if I plan on keeping the vehicle for a long time.
