[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 1001578, member: 52972"] My Mercedes came from the factory with Mobil-1, and I have been using Mobil-1 in all my vehicles for the past 12-15 years and never had a problem, but I did change the oil every 5000 to 7500 miles, but the Mercedes only require the oil change every 13K miles or once a year. I don't usually put 13K miles on it in a year, so I just get it changed every year like they recommend. Most modern oils like synthetics rarely have a problem with depletion of the additives. As long as you have a good quality filter, you can get the extended oil change intervals. With 9 quarts of oil the oil circulates through the engine about half as much as a conventional 5 quart engine so I'm sure that contributes to the longer oil life and longe change intervals too. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
