Re: Oil Change Interval And Oil Filter?
The dealer is just dumping his old stock. Changing the oil every 3 - 4K miles may be a bit excessive. I am not much better, I change mine about every 4 - 5K miles, which ends up being about twice a year. I wouldn't be concerned about using the paper filter since you're changing your oil at about half the recommended interval. The new filter is suppose to be better, but there has been many years of successful use by MB with the paper filter.
