Ok, I know this is not the cheapest motor oil you can find, but this is something more specific. Namely, this oil meets the newer Mercedes Benz 229.52 specification. If you own a late model MB vehicle and want to do your own oil changes, you know that oil meeting this specification usually runs about $8-10 a quart. If you find it on sale, maybe $5 or $6 a quart. Well, this is about $4.25 a quart at the price Amazon sells it at. The three camels say this is the lowest price ever on Amazon. This is 15 quarts of oil in total. My car takes 9 quarts per oil change, so I bought two cases for 30 quarts total, covering 3 oil changes.
Plus, there is a $10 mail-in rebate for buying a 3-5QT case, you can download the form below:

This brings the price to $3.58 a quart. Again, yes you can find cheaper 5W30 full synthetic oil, but this is something very specific to those who need it.
Just to add, this oil also meets VW 504 00 and 507 00, as well as Porsche C30 ratings.

A mess like any other corporate driven politically executed deed, I'll stick with m1 for now I think.

That said, I usually would not second guess the engineers who provide their recommendations. We are not talking about snake oil speaker cables here, but motor oil, for which Mercedes Benz provides a very long list of approved brands and weights. Maybe there's marketing involved, but I would rather spend the extra few bucks per oil change just to be sure that if I ever need to file a warranty claim, I have the receipts showing that I bought the right oil.

I highly doubt any warranty claim would be down to oil alone, even if you used the incorrect oil. And good luck trying to prove any fault was indeed oil related. Even if extra engine wear occurs, you would be hard pressed to see any issues from it over the life of the car. please tell me if my thoughts are misguided
Did your car come with synthetic from the factory? Then follow the monitor. If it didn't, then you can definitely extend the interval. The monitor only estimates oil life based on driving habits. It doesn't actually measure the oil actively and it assumes you use whatever was originally used.
with an interval that low, I would assume you do a decent amount of local driving, stop and go, short trips, etc.

It doesn't matter whether the oil was the problem, it just gives them an out.
Oil matters a lot more for newer direct injection, turbo, high displacement engines that use tricks to eek out every last hp vs. gas mileage. Especially in German makes using tons of mechanical/electronic gadgets that monitor everything (vanos.disa, etc.).
The effort you spend on getting the perfectly "right" oil should be proportional to the investment you made in purchasing said car and how you use your car (track use, spirited driving).
For everyone else, match the weigh/viscosity recommendation and get the cheapest reputable oil you can find. And by reputable, BobIsTheOilGuy would say even the cheapest Walmart/Costco brands are plenty good.
It costs me about $18 to ship back so it's definitely worth it for me.
