Maintenance Question
My 2000 e430 4-matic is approaching 79,000 miles. At 74,000 I had Service A completed. And around 77,000 miles I had a free oil change (complimentary of the dealership). It now says Service B in XX,XXX miles. I know that they update that after they do an oil change.
Just wondering besides what has been done. What should I have checked or do within the next 10 to 15,000 miles or up to 100,000 miles?

At 74 k they did A service
why would they change oil again at 77k?
Per above most important trans fluid and filter,diy on benzworld,org w210 diy section.I have the special dipstick for $42 delivered.
o2 sensors at 100k,spark plugs at 100 k both diy's .I also have the special 17m plug boot removal tool that saves the wires and makes the job much easier.

Thanks.
The reason why they changed to oil was because i had a problem with them because when my front shocks went, it took them three times to diagnose the problem. So I told them to change the oil and a list of other things because of their stupidity. I figured it doesn't hurt to change the oil.
