I haven't dealt with it in the GLA but a few other vehicles over the years. Oil contamination and/or a faulty filter-valve "pickup tube" typical culprits.

There's a reason @Wayne , myself, and many others change oil/filter more often than the Benz maintenance checklist. ;)

But also if you often track or otherwise spirited drive your AMG, especially with many aggressive turns, the sump may be starved of oil at a point and more readily ingest contaminants. I'm sure @Wayne will now discuss the physics-advantages of a Porsche "dry sump", of which he is very well qualified. :)
