Star Maintenance for ML350 Bluetec?
We got a new '10 ML Bluetec and we leased it. When we finalized the paperwork, I inquired about the prepaid maintenance for diesels and the amount was much more than the gas engine.
Can anyone share their experience with the A, B, and/or C service for the Bluetec? What did you end up paying at the dealer? Does it make sense to prepay for it (discount), as we have until the 10k (A) service to decide?
Thoughts and ideas appreciated.

dealers charge a small fortune to refill the AdBlue tank, and even more when it's time to completely purge it and then refill with totally fresh AdBlue. The same fluid can be purchased from a VW dealer, or at a truck stop, for a fraction of the MB cost. If you "maintain" your own AdBlue you can save literally hundred of $$. It's about as difficult as adding fluid to your windshield washer reservoir.
