Service A Due

So guys, i hit about 85k miles

I am just wondering what advice you guys about getting my service done.

Oil change - Of course, i think this is something i should do on my own and save some money.

Is there anything else that i should do on my own or what i should know before taking it to the stealership.

Kinda hard to tell you what to do if we don't know what has been done to your car in the past. You could be due for a lot of things. Service A is just an oil change with a bunch of safety checks.

I'd do oil change and check other fluids ie... radiator (use MB brand or Prestone Zerex G-05), brake fluid and check air filter.

All the maintenance requirements are in the service book. If you don't have one, you can download it from the web.

In addition to service A. Or B, there are additional mileage checks to be done as well.
