Does anyone know how to Reset Service indicator for 2008 C300?
#26
After clearing the "Service Overdue" message I was able to get this to work. Here the steps I took:
1.Turn your ignition in first position, doors and windows closed.
1a. Press OK button to clear Service Overdue message
2.Press and hold the accept call button for 5 seconds and while holding, press the ok button on the steering wheel.
3.If needed after releasing the two buttons press ok once more.

Let me confirm what the poster in reply #26 said - on my 2009 C300 - you must first clear the "Service Due in XXX Miles" message with the OK button when you first turn the key to position 1. If you do not, the procedure does not work, it drops you to the Trip Odometer reset as other have posted below.
Of course, once you clear this condition and Confirm, the "Service Due" message is gone, then on subsequent attempts you can enter the hidden menu directly since there is no initial warning message on the display. But under normal conditions, if you are changing the oil at/near the mileage point where the Service Due message is being displayed, follow post 26.

I just changed the oil at 12,600 miles and cleared the indicator. It took a few attempts but the sequence above worked for me too.
thanks for the info
BTY- I got 8 quarts out using the topside vacume method

Thanks everyone. It took me awhile, but I found a way to get around the odometer reset message problem for those who encounter it. (I kept getting it six times in a row)
Get in your car. Close door. Turn ignition. THEN PRESS RIGHT, THEN BACK TO THE LEFT. The subscreen appears at the bottom row. Now you hold the call-answer and OK keys. That'll stop the odometer-reset message from appearing and you'll enter the menu.

you guys are missing a step... after turning the key and clearing the service message you have to push the left arrow on the steering wheel until the word "TRIP" is highlighted.... I just did this 20 minutes ago by following the pdf i attached, worked like a charm the very first time. Good luck!

C300 Sport
My car is 4,000 miles over on service B. I had the dealership change the oil for $100 but refuse to pay the additional $600 they are asking to change the airfilters, I can do this myself. Does anyone know if you reset the car and it exceeds the service date which mine does, will the car know when it is time to change the oil again or is it going off of when youreset it? Will the car tell you its time to servie it again based on when it is reset or when the car needs it?? Does this make sense?

You are now done. If you watch the above linked You Tube video, it is easy to follow.
