Service A on GL450
Hi,
I recently bought a used 2008 GL450, 22k miles. The Command center on the car says Service A is due in 12k miles. Is this correct? I am new to Mercedes vehicles. Where can I find that maintenance schedules for GL450? Please advise..
Thanks

Your dealer can get you a copy of the maintenance booklet.

Just a thought, I don't want to offend you, but Mercedes maintenance schedules are different from most cars. Servicing every 12,000-13,000 miles is a normal maintenance schedule. It's not like most cars where you change the oil every 3,000-5,000 miles. As you know, the car will tell you when it's ready, but under normal conditions you'd see a need for maintenance at that interval.

If you intend to take your vehicle into a Mercedes dealer for the service I believe that would be fine. You might go in for a Service A and they tell you that your GL also is due for something else but all service is scheduled around these 13,000 mile intervals.

If you just got it and it says it need a service A in 12K miles then either it just received a service OR someone reset to service reminder to hide what was not done.
I would have the dealer run the VIN and see what he finds in the computer.
