I certainly understand the frustration that many of you old-timers have with trolls infesting your newsgroup. So most of the time if your nose tells you there's a troll in your midst most of the time you are probably right. For the hell of it I searched the alt.auto.mercedes newsgroup for info about oil frequency and of the many threads on this subject you can-if you have the time or desire- look at this old thread from 2000: http://groups.google.com/group/alt.auto.mercedes/browse_frm/thread/3f137bbcd7c095ca/c458b0b7c0ba5449?lnk=gst&q=%22oil+change%22&rnum=9&hl=en#c458b0b7c0ba5449
