Oil change interval
<<13.5K miles or 1yr, whichever comes first>>
Using Mobil 1 5W40 Extended Performance and a genuine MB fleece filter. |
On a related subject, for those who already have their cars (or otherwise know), what are the service intervals? What are we looking at $$$-wise for the various services?

You already suspect that someone has put that many miles on their car to have actual pricing? :slap: Estimates can be had from your SA. |
Service cost

The dealer is never going to see my car for routine service now that I have to pay them. I've been changing my own oil for a long time using my Topsider (sucking it out the dipstick tube and yes, it gets it ALL out) and changing the cabin air and engine intake filters, purchased in the aftermarket. What I do pay for is brake fluid, coolant and fuel filter changes on schedule. |

Estimates can be had from your SA. My dealer doesn't have the manual and is having to mail them out to individual buyers when they arrive. |
Service intervals were already given the first two replies (if the C system is the same as the other models).

Didn't realize the car needed complete servicing every 13.5K as well. |

OK. I was under the impression those were the oil change intervals because of the name of the thread.

OK, thanks. I have searched the W203 board an had heard of an A service and B service. Just wanted to know if there was anything new in the W204 that is not in the W203 and figured some new owners out there might have some personal knowledge of it that I haven't been able to get yet.

Not at my dealership. They say they'll get them in by end of Sept and will be mailing them to those that have already taken delivery of their W204.

Thats nuts. Its like they didn't expect to sell many of them. Or they are trying to have demand high by not having them readily available. Bad move I think, I'm sure some people will just pass this car up for the IS and 3er because they're selling those cars at mad discounts right now.
MBTex looks like you and I have a long ways to go...stinks doesn't it? At least its almost mid-september |

MBTex looks like you and I have a long ways to go...stinks doesn't it? At least its almost mid-september We are in the same boat. At least I finally got my build date...Sept 25. Delivery 5 weeks after...end of Oct. It does stink...daddy wants his car. |
HA! Well at least you have the build date! I suppose you just got that, which means I should get mine semi soon...seems like they give you a date 10-15 days out so...

My E class has FSS system which tells abut when and waht have to be serviced in the car. I believe C class has something similar. Car manual should also have service notes.
|
No manuals? Where did you buy your cars? I received my manuals and everything that you would expect when taking delivery of a new vehicle.

FSS no mo

FSS is gone. The new C does not have it. In fact, no new model has it. Anyway, all the FSS readout said was A or B service coming up at which point the wheels are counted and some washer fluid was added. And the bill made out which was the most important part of it. And the oil & filter changed every 10K miles. |
