Break in Oil Change and Period for 2010

I was wondering a few things.

1) I remember with our '07 s550, there was a break in oil change, that was complimentary, regarldess of cost is it recomended to get one at the first 1000 miles still? I don't think they still offer it.

2) Is 1000, really the only amount of time, needed to break in this car?

3) Do the engines from MB come hot-tested?

Thanks guys! Just trying to treat her right

2007 called for first oil change at 13,000 miles or 12 months. These was no early replacement of break-in oil required.
The first service after a couple month was complimentary and only consisted of an inspection. No oil or filter changes performed.

The 2007 S550 I drove and purchased NEW, Had a Complimentary oil change at 1,000 miles, And it stated so in the maint. book. I'm 100% positive.

And the first change is at roughly 10,000 miles.

Any others with experience on the 2010?

There was never a break in oil change reccommended on the 221 chassis. If yours did, it was on the dealer, and not by MB.
