FSS recomendation.
My FSS is recommending service at 11,000 miles for the first one.
I just wondered what others are getting, higher or lower.
I know it depends on the way we drive our cars.

FSS recomendation was initially 9600 miles, but as I put miles on the car, it has changed dramatically. All my miles are freeway, at 150 miles per day, and wide open (no stop and go traffic) I am at 15K miles (since last October), and the computer says I have 1800 more miles until service A. It's been on 1800 miles now for about a week. And, for the record, I drive like a bat out of hell...... Gotta love synthetic oil........

2002 C240 6-spd (ret)
I've got 6100 miles on my '02 C240, and FSS is still targeting service "A" at 10K miles. Mine jumps in 100 mile increments, at about 50 miles into each hundred. I drive relatively short distances to work each day (7 miles each way), although the temp gauge shows normal operating temps by the time I shut it off. More highway driving on the weekends. I drive "moderately" most of the time (shifts around 3500-4000 rpm), with a few jaunts to about 5700 rpm.

How does a bat out of hell drive?
Driving like a bat out of hell means driving from San Diego to San Francisco in just 6 hours.
It was when my new c230k reached 3k for breaking in. I was down in SD visiting and drove back for the Thanksgiving weekend. Some traffic yet managed to get back in 6 hours stopped once for gas.
