Purchased new 2023 GLE 450 beginning of June. Have 6000 miles now. At this rate I will reach 10K miles in less than a year. How much over the 10K miles/1 year service interval can I go to stay in warranty?
I did purchase the 4 year pre-paid service. If I service every 10K, I will use this up in 3 years.

Thanks for any info.

 

You essentially paid for 4 services. One per year or one every 10,000 miles whichever comes first. No reason to delay service when required.

 

I think what I really want to know is if I can go to 11-12K miles before service (less than a year interval) within warranty rules?

 

Probably, but call your Service Manager for the definitive answer.
After all, it's he she who will certify your warranty service.

 

Ask in an email. Just in case of a future claim, if it isn't in writing, it wasn't really said.

 

There’s no perfect answer here but on the other hand there’s no upside to saving a few bucks to delay a Service interval. Some feel that 10k is too long. I’ve seen several oil analysis posts where 10/40 oil tests at 20 viscosity at less than 10k. A Dealer SA or other employee would be accepting an unnecessary risk recommending anything longer than Mercedes requires. Any engine issue could be an automatic decline of warranty. Ask yourself….Is it worth the risk? It would be more prudent to find an Indy at year 4 (or DIY) to change the oil at a reduced cost than push the oil change out another 2k, IMO.

 

You'll also use up your warranty sooner because you'll get to 48,000 miles sooner. Three years by your math.
Your PPM will last as long as your warranty.
