With the oils that meet the newer M-B specs, an oil change is recommended at longer intervals (10k).
My car gets an oil change every year I have put on less than 2,200 miles a year on average. I let that slip in 2020 due to the Covid shut down so it was done around 3,000 miles in two years. Spend your money and keep the economy healthy and the oil companies stock worth while.
When they say 7k they are crazy, it is one way of selling new cars I guess.
