Service question:

does anyone know what needs to be done at the 120,000 mile service (1998 ML 320)? I believe the last service was pretty comprehensive, so is this one just an oil change? I might just have to to go find the service report....

Thanks in advance.

Well either the A or B service depending on whatever is due. Brake flush every 2 years, coolant flush every 3. Based on your mileage I would be surprised if they didn't find it needed something else.

Just for the peace of mind, I would flush both and start on a clean slate, so to speak. Even though trans is sealed, you may want to do a flush and fill too...
