2009 ML350 4Matic
Ala-carte Service
Hello,
I just bought a used 2009 ML350 with 62,000 miles. The dash display says I am two years+ overdue for the "D service".
It's been over 10 years since I owned a MB and have no memory of the service options. Is it economical to request the service items missed (which appear to be a LOT of inspections) for 40K, 50K, 60K minus the cost of the oil change?
I can get the Mobile 1 oil on Amazon with a Mann filter for $65 and would rather save the money. Same for an air filter change. I can do basic stuff like this but cannot complete the scheduled inspections myself. I have the added concern about the car really needing a thorough review given the possible service neglect.
Thanks for any advice.
