Yep..what he said..

A lot of the answers you seek are relative to your "personal preference". Use ONLY 100% Synthetic Oil. Brand names are a personal preference. Mobil 1..Pensoil...Valvoline..as long as you stick to the same brand each time you change your oil. Since this is a Mecedes in Chrysler clothing, you may opt to use only MB recommended parts and products and a reliable source.

This forum is a great source of information and advice. Be patient with us "ol timers". Its just we've answered these same questions so many times over and over and over again, it get nerve wrecking. A lot of times performing a "search" will get your questions answered faster than waiting for one of us to chime in, find your post amongs thousands of others, and reply in kind.
