an easy oil change question - Benzworld.org

I'd like a little insight from the forum. Is there any reason that a standard oil change can't be performed by one of the quick lube type places? Up to this point, I've had them done by a high dollar Mercedes service center, but given that I specify synthetic oil and the proper filter, I don't know why I couldn't go for the faster, cheaper option. Does anyone know of any "special requirements" that an E320 has which the quick lube places wouldn't know about? Thanks.

I'm too stingy to even use a quick lube. I do it my self. To my knowledge there is no special requirement.
