Should it tell me ?

My 2008 Colorado tells me when it is time to change the oil or get a service. I have only had my 2006 E350 for about 4 months and have driven about 3000 miles. I keep watching the control panels and waiting. Will it tell me when to get service (like at 3000 miles oil changes) or do I just do it when I want? Thanks.

The dash tells you when the next service is due.
Every service (A, B, C, D, etc.) has an oil change. (Every 13K miles or one year)

Really 13K miles? WOW. My Colorado wants an oil change every 6K miles.

Thanks

Twice the amount of oil,
twice the change interval,
equals 4 times the cost!

Don't do it!


Find a good independent shop familiar with MBs.


Just way to easy to make a big and costly mistake to trust to a quick change place.

X2! That ain't no Colorado! Treat her well and she'll do the same.

Would you please me know who when you do? I am usually at St. Simons-not that far away from you-and I need a good indie. Savannah is my only other dealer option, and about equidistant to you. In particular I want an indie with STAR capability.

If I find one I will post......

That might be an idea... A list of them at different cities.
