hello everyone...
i have a 2007 c230 sport with 21k miles on it. i leased it and the lease it up in sept. my question is Should i change the oil on it?(service B already exceeded 35 days) and also how do i take off that exceeded 35 days ?

Dont be a cheap a$$, change the oil! How would you feel if you bought a second hand car and later found out that someone did the same to your car. Change the oil!

benz718

well ill be honest with you i don't drive the car alot and i don't have time to go change the oil...the car has problem as is because MB are a bunch of morons who don't know how to fix problems..my car has been in the dealership twice for the same problem and still they didnt fix it ..... its not about being cheap at all....

The car is over due for service and you are the owner. You should not even question if you should change the oil or not.
If the simple fact that you should be responsible enough to do it is not enough, if they can prove that you purposely "mistreated" the vehicle during the lease period, you may be paying a lot more than the cost of an oil change.
Honestly, I was going to be nice about this but I just cant. You are Pathetic for even thinking of waiting an additional 6 months.

benz718

do you own your car or lease it?

C300Sport

Don't even try to start justifying what you are thinking about. You signed the lease to be the user of that vehicle and agreed to maintain it properly. Don't try to excuse your behavior due to the inability of MB to fix a problem.

TB5...

Dude relax if i needed you to give me a speech about your WONDERFUL opinion i would have asked...you are off topic don't post here any more since you are turning this into something else..go tell that to some little kid...SAVE IT

I agree with both of them (C300sport and 451/443=EW) regarding the oil change and being responsible while in possession of a lease auto and I would strongly recommend that you change the oil at your earliest convenience as the car has only 21000 miles and by avoiding the oil change you would damage the engine, I'm sure you wouldn’t want that.

Here is a warning, if you don't do your service B, the dealership can and most likely will impose a fine at the end of your lease that's gonna be at least double the amount of service B cost.
Don't think they won't notice if you reset the system, they can still tell when they service/inspect the car upon lease end.

benz718

no you are rite i wouldn't want that but the car stand all the time maybe it gets driven once a week if that...and its going to be this way until September...also i know people who lease their cars from MB and never change the oil 36 months and have no problems...ALL I ASKED WAS QUESTIONS you answered and i thank you but the clown from top starts an argument which is not needed

benz718

really how will they tell..what if i take the car to a reg shop to get an oil change and they will reset the system the same way.....

Xaniar

I highly doubt that they will ever know about the service reminder reset.

benz718

WELL my friend if you come visit NEW YORK maybe you will change your post.

kaputt

An oil change is'nt even that expensive.

With your attitude I really don't care what you do. If you were smart you would follow the reminders and keep the car maintained.

benz718

Ok that's not the point.....

benz718

Moron noone asked you to care I just asked two simples questions that needed 2 simple answers.....if you don't have the answer then shut your motuh and. Go say something smart to someone else

HAHAHA, you think im funny...funny like a clown... I make you laugh.
Anyway... I simply said it like I see it. DONT BE CHEAP! and that is what you are concidering with the question you asked. Honestly, if you cant afford to service an MB you shouldnt buy one . Or any other car for that matter. I see you as one of those guys who say's there car is mint when trading it, but obviously mistreat and or neglect the car because your selling it or giving it back! That my frugal friend.... is a boner move!

Howevery I forgive you if you make the right choice.

C300Sport

All attitude aside, the simple fact that you are driving so little is actually much harder on the car's fluids and systems than driving it every day. Good luck with whatever you end up doing and I really hope you take the high road and service your car.
Anyhow, hope you can calm down a little and quit calling everyone names and such as we are actually trying to help even if we are not thrilled with some of your ideas...
OH BTW- Welcome to the forum....

Xaniar

Why don't we just start a group charity thread to help him out with the oil change.
Just JK.

Hey everyone, it's another internet tough guy!

Seriously though, change the oil. Many of us find it insulting that would consider skipping your regular maintenance on a lease when you know full well that soon someone else will be buying that car.

451/443=EW

Thank you! That is what pissed me off too. I sell cars, and the thought of one of my clients getting screwed like this really gets to me. So take car of the car for someone else.

C300Sport

Yeah, that's what set me off. Bought a "pristine" Nissan Z many years ago that had led a much, much rougher life than claimed...it looked good though... Couldn't really tell till we pulled her apart...
