How often does the C-class need an oil change?

I know they can go a really long time before the very first oil change, but what about subsequent changes?How often does the C-class need an oil change?
The in-car computer will alert you when your oil need changing, however, I kept mine (C-200K 2001, W210 model) at every 12000km. Tip to look into, always use the same oil, do not flush your engine every time you change your oil, best sequence is flush once with every 2 oil change. Never completely drain off your gear oil, keep an close eye on the gear oil level in between services. The other clue is the temperature indicator, if it raise faster then usual in normal condition, do take action, in high end car like this, prevention is always cheaper then cure.
i take mine in every 20,000 miles i think and let my delar do itHow often does the C-class need an oil change?
It's a function of how far you drive and how hard you push the motor. The beautiful thing about recent Mercedes cars is that the service reminder system will compute the correct change interval based on your driving, and tell you when the change is due with a dashboard warning. You will probably go at least 10K miles, and possibly much further between changes. Just one warning, though: you must always use full synthetic oil with this car. You also must reset the service reminder system after the oil change.



Update:



Your car has a sophisticated service warning system, that can actually monitor the condition of the oil. There is no need to change oil more frequently than indicated. Check your owner's manual if you don't believe me.
the Mercedes-Benz is a fine Automobile and like any other auto needs to be serviced on a regular basis,for the engine to avoid damage,I'm an Ase master certified technician,and would still recommend changing the oil every 6000-7500 miles.How often does the C-class need an oil change?
3 months or 3000 miles, why take the chance. However I would think your owners manual would tell you that answer.
that's bull, the oil change for brake in is the same there is a breaking per your manual... regular oil changes is 3000 miles

and filter every change,, for Pennzoil synthetic oil 7500 miles..

if you don't change oil and filter regular the life of your engine

will decrease by 1/3rd
