Ive got a 2016 CLS550 and its time for service B. I schedule a service appointment with the dealership near me (Pembroke Pines, Florida) and ask for an estimate of what it would cost. Service Advisor tells me aprox $1300. Nope, i dont think so
Has anyone else done service B, and if so where are you located and about how much did it cost?
Anyways, I just now purchased via Amazon...
--oil filter (oem part 276 180 00 09 - based on the part that was listed on my service A from dealership)
--mityvac 7201
--mobile-1 5w-40 formula M motor oil (approved for MB 229.5)
--engine air filter (oem part 278 094 00 04)
--cabin filter (compatible with oem part 2128300318)
as soon as it all arrives, it looks like i'll be doing most of service B myself. i'll update this thread to let you all know how it went.
does anyone know if oil filter part 276 180 00 09 is indeed a fleece filter?
can anyone recommend the correct oil filter wrench to use for CLS550?
service B includes "Clean water cowling to ensure proper drainage"; any advice on doing this?
any advice on DIY maintenance is more than welcomed (oil change, replace engine air filters, replace cabin air filter, etc).
I think it does require a brake fluid flush. I’ve done it on my dodge truck but I’m not yet comfortable enough to do it on the Benz. More research on my part before I attempt a brake bleed on the Benz
in the meanwhile I’ll take it to an Indy shop so they can do the brake bleed

Brake bleed is easy on theses cars. Get yourself one of these pressurized systems and it’s a piece of cake. https://www.motiveproducts.com/colle...ropean-bleeder or just do it the 2 person system and make sure u don’t pump the reservoir dry in the process.
took a while for me to get the parts from Amazon, but they finally came in (MityVac, oil fiter, 5W-40 oil).
however, ive already run into a little snag.
I ordered oil filter A2761800009 (this was what was even listed on my invoice from dealer for service A). however that part does not fit my 2016 CLS550
Furthermore, when I removed the current filter I have an its actually a "Hengst AMG A2781840125"
So the dealership invoiced the wrong oil filter. Go figure!
I will now order a ECOGARD X10186 Cartridge Engine Oil Filter
what i ordered... OEM A2761800009
the oil filter that was currently in the CLS Hengst AMG A2781840125
what i will now order ECOGARD X10186 Cartridge Engine Oil Filter
