"Charles Forster was the inspiration for naming the Forster Room. He founded Forsters, Inc., based in Strong, ME, which went on to become the largest toothpick manufacturer in the United States. Originally made by hand from white birch logs, a complete toothpick machine system was created in 1860 to keep up with the growing demand. At the height of production, Forsters’ team made an average of 20 million wooden toothpicks daily."
The town of Strong, Maine calls itself "The toothpick capital of the world." There, at the Forsters Inc. plant, 10 employees at a highly automated factory turn birch wood into 20 million toothpicks per day.
Where do all those toothpicks go? Well, a man named Joe King used 110,000 to build a 23-foot-high replica of the Eiffel Tower, and there is, in Evanston IL, a 16-foot-long replica of the Lusitania made of toothpicks. Too, in California there is a life-size figure of a crucified Christ made of toothpicks by a man who said the work was done at God's bidding."

Normally you need to change oil every 3,000, but if I were you, I would use the Synthetic oil. It's not that much more expensive and you wouldn't have to worry about changeing oil until 6000 miles. The synthetic doesn't break down as fast, and if you can afford a Benz why not spring for the best oil to keep it in tip top shape?
