I ttook her in for a service at main dealer, part of which (arguably all of which!!!!) comprised the replacement of the oil.
They have chosen to replace it with a Shell oil - Helix somethingorother.
Now - I know that the grade is the same, and that the oil is fully synth. BUT - you pay top money for service, and I must say, I can see no reason why the oil would be substituted from Mobile one other than for cost benefits (for them not me!!!)
Am I being just an oil snob?
Would you insist that it was replaced with the Mobile 1 that was recommended, or just lve with it?
Opinions on this please?

Merc might have changed the spec of their oil?
personally i would have the shell oil over mobil 1 anyway, but out of principal i would speak to the merc main dealer and question it - you might get a few quid off your next service
