Oil grade and capacity are checked against published lubricant application data where marked verified; part numbers and intervals follow Mercedes-Benz's maintenance schedule. Severe use (towing, short trips, dusty roads) shortens some intervals. Confirm the part number against your VIN at checkout. Read the full disclaimer
