The Best or Nothing

Mercedes-Benz has been a German, global automobile manufacturer for over a century, living by the slogan, “The best, or nothing.” The amount of care and detail put into the manufacture and final production of this luxury vehicle is like no other automobile manufacturer today.

The Mercedes-Benz manual suggests that you should change your oil every 20,000 miles ... read more
