End of lease for my ML350
My lease is ending in a couple of months. The car (06') just went over 50k miles and it need the Service D done. Can i return the car without doing the service or will they require me to do the service before returning??? Thanks in advance.

That's a good question. Call your leasing company and ask them. Now, chances are they are going to tell you that you have to do the service.
Before you do, wait to get the "end of lease" package. It will tell you what is and is not acceptable.
There is of course the third option (and I know I will catch a lot of heat for saying this)... which is to just reset the service light.

If the lease is with MB Financial I believe they require all services to be complied. If its not done they will charge you for it. Best to have it done when you have some control over the costs.

I recently turned in a 07 E350 to MB Financial. I did all the maintenance myself and was never asked to provide any proof of completion. So if I'd just reset the indicator, no one would have ever known.
