Hey guys,

i have my CLK500 for almost 4 years now and i always come to the dealer for oil change and the service A and B. it is almost time for service A again, and i don't feel like i need to get it done? should i keep up with those rip off for $500+ or should i just get oil change and reset the service myself? i don't wanna make a bad decision so need everyone's help.

If you have to add coolant... you just add water!! Tap water.

You only need the MB stuff if you do a total drain & fill.

I go according to the FSS read-out at the cluster. If you use oil to MB spec 229.5 and a fleece filter, you should get about 12k miles between changes.
