Service B Ended today

And Im driving it like this due to the fact that I am short on money this month and can not afford a $600 service at the age of 18. Anyone know what can happen if I keep riding like this? Thanks for informations.

Just reset it. Nothing will happen. Service B is a dealer money maker for people that dont know anything about cars. The indicator comes on and people freak out like their engine will blow up if they dont take it in.

Make sure your fluids are full and oil is changed if you have not done it in a while. Thats it.

It is a complete waste of money.

Check the fluids, reset the computer and if you really care about your car change the oil. Nothing will happen

Around service B, my engine oil light lit up and sure enough my engine oil was low . Make sure you put some new engine oil if you run out your engine will seize and there goes your engine.. Also remember when you hit service B, you can run 1000-3000 miles more before you need new brakes, correct me if im wrong.

If your around so cal, theres a good independant benz shop I can recommend they have the star diagnostic system and the whole service should cost you around $300 if you have the K&N filter.

Hey sorry for ignoring your PM rlee, been thinking whether I should get that system or not, Christmas is coming up and my credit card bill is racking up way to many points. So if you still have it around Feburary, I may still be interested in it.
