I found Mercedes in Salem changing oil for $235, which would be exactly $100 to $110 over Valvoline + Mahle/Bosch/Mann oil filter. This cost could be justified but Salem is 45 min. away, a little far for just oil change but no headache of dealing with 14 quarts of used oil and dashboard warning resetting.
Interesting Google reviews for Wilsonville MB, many 5 stars with increasing number of one-star ratings. I have seen only one review in the middle; one-star ratings usually related to service with comments about recent ownership change to Swickard. I spent one hour on the phone with Wilsonville trying to get oil change exact quote, only response was it starts at $280. The next day someone called me with exact quote of $382. I had ½ minute phone call with MB Salem to get oil change details and exact quote of $235.
Thank you all for corrections and help.
