I believe your problem is CPS (crankshaft position sensor) on the SL300, it should be around $50 for oem Bosch. Search google for Mercedes CPS problems and see, if your case is similar then others.
For the oil reset, folow the instructions in your owner's manual or also check benzworld forum threads (lot more info and quick respond there).
I do my oil reset like this:
Turn key to pos.2 and within 5 sec. press odometer reset twice. Turn key to pos.1 then press and hold reset button while turning key back to pos.2 with your other hand.
Continue to hold button untill buzzer sounds or new 10,000 mile interval is displayed on your odometer.
For your ML gas/mileage, check your tire pressure but my ML320 average is also only 17mpg in daily suburban driving and 20-21mpg on highway.
Biggest improvements to engine running and economy would be replacing front o2 sensors, but I can't say because I don't know how many miles you have on them or if they were every changed on your vehicle.
Regards,
Bernard
