Questions regarding 60k service, not just Service B
The 60k miles service, according to the manual, calls for brake fluid flush, spark plug changes, engine air filter change and cabin air filter changes. I have a coupon for $130 off $250 so am thinking of getting this done at the dealer. My question is, has anyone gotten 60k service done at the dealer and they did all this? If so, how much was paid? I already changed the cabin air filter within 20k miles so I don't need to do this. I can change the oil myself. the engine air filter needs to be changed and obviously the plugs need to be changed. Am looking to see if the dealer can just do the spark plugs and air filter so I can use the coupon.
Any sharing of experience with 60k service is appreciated.
Thanks.

You can have the dealer do as much or as little as you want. The air filters are easy to change, the plugs aren't as simple but not difficult, if you like to work on the car it's not bad to do. On a 278 there's not much in the way, the rear coils can be a little tricky to get to in a 166 if you've never done it before, but there's certainly no magic to it.
The plugs are 14mm 12 point though, not a normal spark plug size, so make sure you have a socket for them when you're ready.

Thanks ItalianJoe. I do want to do the plugs myself - there is a write-up for the M278 I'll use as a guide. the air filter housing needs to be removed anyway for this. I plan on keeping my GL for many years so knowing how to do this would be beneficial.
