Should I do the Service A or not?

The car says your next Service A is due in 90 days (that's 1 year after from new), but it's only 11900KM on the odometer. Dealer said the first service is at 25000KM, so should I wait till then or should I do it in next 90 days?
Thanks!

25,000 kilometers is approximately 15,000 miles. C Class service intervals have been one year or 10,000 miles for quite some time. When did it change? I suggest the OP check the maintenance book in the owner's manual kit. In any event, when the car says it's ready...it's ready.

^^^ The latest "Blue Efficiency" range have the interval at 25,000km or 12 months

Some people who do cover 25,000km or more per annum will choose to have an intermediate oil and filter change mid way through.

That doesn't seem right. I got my Service A done at around 11k miles. Service B is another 4k miles for me (I'm at 17k miles right now). So it should be about 10-11k intervals.

I thought it was 10K miles.....at this rate my car will have 5K in 7 months.....looks like in 14 months A service is due....or is it 12 months if less than 10K?

Just to reiterate since people find this so hard to absorb: You have to perform an oil change EVERY 12 MONTHS. If you drive the car 0 miles, you need to change the oil in 12 months. Naturally if you drive more than 15k or 10k (whichever) you'll have to change it sooner. The computer in the car keeps track of all this for you.
