100,000 mile tune up
Hey I was wondering what kind of tune up should i do for my 1999 C280 that turned 100,000 miles about 4 months ago. I haven't had time, but now as I do I wanna prepare it for another 100k. I bought it in jan. 2009 with 89k and i've just been changing oil on it every 3k

keep changing oil every 3k and check out engine mounts and the transmission mount. brakes wouldnt be a bad idea either. on my c220 im starting to get squeaks and im at 103k, should have checked those out during the 100k tune

I would change the Fuel Pressure Regulator, Fuel Filter, Spark Plugs, Spark Plug Wires, Air Filter & Cabin Air Filter. Possible Radiator Thermostat, Fluid, Hoses & Fan Clutch. I have a C36 with 90k on it and a C230K with 120k and changed everything on both cars. I didn't wait till they broke. If you source the parts they are inexpensive and easy to replace. The fuel pressure reg is the biggest improvement on both cars. The acceleration picked up on both cars after I changed them. (Cost was $50 each OEM) and took under a minute to change them. I now change all my customers FPR at 100k and inspect the the Fan Clutch & Fan Switch. Most of them agree with me and go ahead and do the Coolant Change along with the thermostat.
