US Service 2
Why is my car telling me that next's service is a 2?
Background:
- I just bought my car used (2007 E350).
- It has ~13,000 miles on it.
- The MFD shows an upcoming C Service in ~10,000 miles.
- The Service menu contains a list of US Service items to be performed, one of them being US Service 2.
- The maintenance booklet says that US Service 2 Gasoline engines should be done at every 52,000 miles or 4 years (replace engine air-cleaner insert).
This is a little too soon, no?

Konigster was kind enough to post PDF files that list 2005-2008MY maintanence schedules. You can take a look at them here: https://mbworld.org/forums/3294991-post83.html
If you still have any questions I think the best bet would be to take the car to your nearest/favorite MB center and ask to talk to a service advisor. The consultation should be free and he should be able to advise you on what to do with the car next.

I'm not 100% sure... but I think the FSS (ASSYST+ in Europe) lists certain service items, such as for example "US Service 2" no matter what. Then, depending on if the 4 year- or 52,000 miles interval specified in the service booklet has actually passed, and only then, you perform "US Service 2". You have to check the interval yourself. If the car is new, and the 52,000mile interval or the 4 years of time has not passed, you can simply skip the service item. In other words: You sometimes have to manually check if the service item listed applies in your situation.
Does anyone know for sure how this works?

Mention DTB S-B-00.20/88 instances of erroneous and or differing maintenance items being displayed within the Instrument Cluster as compared to the approved Mercedes-Benz Maintenance System Service Sheet, disregard the information being calculated and displayed from the ASSYST system and follow the approved Service Sheet for proper maintenance intervals.
