A trimmer would probably repair it cheaper than Mercedes; the cheapest option would be to fit some seat covers.

 

How much oil should a 2015 E400 use?
Answered by Graham Smith · 10 Mar 2017

If you aren't doing it already keep a record of the oil you put in, recording the date, the odometer, and the amount of oil added. That would give you some evidence to present to the dealer and MB. As you haven't had any satisfaction from the dealer go directly to Mercedes-Benz (Ph: 1300 730 200). There shouldn't be any reason to be scared on driving the car, all cars use oil, it's the amount of oil used that it the question that needs to be answered in your case. In the meantime check the oil level weekly.
