Here are my suggestions:
Chains.....NO, unless you're climbing huge mountains, just get good snowtires.
Thermostat change.....NO, your vehicle computer needs to see 195 deg., to operate at it's best.
Underoiling....NO, M-B strictly prohibits any oiling, as it would NOT be compatible with the wax-type corrosion protection they use.
Wash the car as often as you can, especially the under carriage and wheelwells. ;)
