I just purchased a 2003 G500 that is set up for overlanding,m this is my first MB but with a long history of BMW and Porsche. For each of my cars, I create an EXCEL service schedule, yes I am **** retentive when it comes to my vehicles. The truck did not come with a service manual and I cannot find any details on line.

This is the service scheule that I used for my Porsche
5,000 Engine Oil & Filter
15,000 Cabin Filter
30,000 Spark Plugs
90,000 Spark Plug Tubes
30,000 Air Filter
30,000 Fuel Filter
30,000 Power Steering Fluid
60,000 Transmission Fluid
60,000 Serpantine Belt
60,000 Water pump, thermostat
120,000 Fuel Hoses
120,000 Coolant Hose

What is the recommended intervals for the G500? What I have I missed? Diff service? Ball Joints?

Thanks for your help. I'm happy to share the file if anyone would like it.

I posted my service schedule recently at https://mbworld.org/forums/g-class-w...ml#post8334736 (yet a work in progress that I plan to spreadsheet - I'm obsessive compulsive).
Offroad use imposes greater attention to maintenance. Unpaved roads (dust) are one thing, but hauling extra weight, rock crawling and time spent in 4WL demand frequent inspection and service to items not normally on the radar. The MB Certified Pre-owned brochure provides a fairly comprehensive checklist of items you might want to consider for periodic inspection.
