37K miles..class B service advice?
taking my car in for some warranty items. I'm sure they're going to hit me up for the class B service. Do I really need to do that? I just had oil changed .

It's impossible to get a straight and simple answer to your question from a MB dealer. The 40k service includes replacing several filters. Dealers speak in terms of 'recommended' service and subsequently charge you out the yingyang. Read the fine print in your manual and look the service manager in the eye and ask him for a straight answer to the question. "What service is REQUIRED in order to maintain the warranty".

Are you also too lazy to open up the manual to find out what things need to be done at what mileage points according to the chart in that book? It doesn't matter what the dealer tells you, what you need to do for maintenance is what the book states is required. It has nothing to do with mere warranty coverage only, and everything to do with preserving your vehicle in general and beyond the coverage period. Filters and fluids, including brake and trans, eventually need replacement.
You need not get the work done at the dealer, if that's what you're trying to avoid. Just keep your records showing that you did the work at the required intervals.
