Service A, go by millage or time ???

Hi,

My GL is almost 1 year old, but it only has 3K on the clock. Should I do service A at 1 year, or, can I wait until I hit 10K?

Thanks

On my C55, it is mileage or one year, which ever comes first. On my GL, I do not know. I have 3000 miles on it. THX

You should get it serviced at 1 year if the mileage is less than 10K. At least the manual says so (one year or 10K mileage whichever is less) and I remember having got it done at around 7K.

I remembered on my E55 . It counted by mileage or days . On my GL I think it counts by mileage because I dont see how many days of service on the dash screen when everytime I checked . You'll be alright but you should start ur car once a week for 15mins .
Spoke to my certified MB tech He said that to me because for 3K miles He honestly can't do nothing. I got my E55 for over 3yrs and got 15K miles and I only service my car once but I did like He told me as I said above . Hope this help.
