M163 simple questions

I have a 2003 ML320. It has almost 70K. The little "wrench" came on today. The little ML320 has been a GREAT Auto. Nothing ever then schedualed service. However, I was looking through the books that came with it and there is nothing about a schedualed service plan; like my other cars. You know, at 50K do this, at 70k do this. etc...

My question is: what is typical service plan for the ML320?
(there is nothing at all apparent that is a concern or not working)

If it is a oil change, a filter and reseting a sensor -- I might as well do it.
Ya know...

Thank you for any direction or assistance...

There is an "A" and a "B" alternating service schedule. The A service is basically an oil change. The B service is a little more involved. There should be some info in your Owner's Manual.

Changing your own oil on this car can be very messy if you don't have the tool to suck the oil out through the dipstick. And the filter will drip all over the front suspension.

Good Luck!
