Here"s your Warranty book , 3000, 6000, and so on. then,

"Warranty void if incorrect oil is used."

Then "Mercedez Bens Oil MUST be used at every oil change interval or Warranty is void."
I dont think "technically" they can do that. MB does not make oil. You have to use oil that meets MB specs. But IF MB states you have to use oil, purchased from MB, according to the Magnuson- Moss Warranty Act, they have to provide it for free. So I'm sure it reads like "must use oil that meets MB approval 229.1" Every car manufacturer does that.
