Hey mate with the oil i would only use the Mobil 1 stuff MB recommends if you want to keep the warranty its a must.

With the times between changes i don't bother on mine i leave it up to the computer but you can change it whenever you want to mate about 3000 sounds like a good number to me so i would stick with it.

No fancy oil gets used in it at all mate so not to worry about that its just the standard stuff.

Only tip is remember that there are 2 drain plugs and if your down there maybe consider changing the transmission fluid also but you do need to pump that back in so it might not be so easy.
