Service A or Reset
I'd like to ask some opinions.
I've a 2011 GLK AWD that is exactly a year old but only has 1150 miles on it, all of which were on the highway.
My Service A is due on the reminder. I'm driving it only occasionally. Should I have it done or simply reset it? If so, how do I reset it without performing the service? Thanks.

You should change the oil and filter if nothing else. Basically Service A is an oil and filter change with other inspection. The oil should be changed annually regardless of mileage. I recommend that you have the service performed. That will also ensure your warranty is continued without argument.

You definitely need to change the oil and filter. Just remember to document what you do for warranty records. If you don't follow the recommended schedule there is a remote possibility that you could void your warranty if you need work done to the drive train.

This.... However, the law is on your side if you decide to service the car yourself... They cannot void your warranty for following the maintenance schedule to the letter... Keep all receipts and records... Save lots of time and money as well and there will never be a need for an argument.
