Hello people I would like to introduce myself real quick. Last week got my wife an 09' ML550 with 3300 miles on it. Her and I are new to MB so we are slowly learning and getting used to something we have never driven prier. Have a few questions if guys dont mind. What type of oil do you guys use, what style receiver hitch are you guys using and what directions do you have the receiver (up or down), and when installing aftermarket lighting i.e. Hid conversion for headlights and fogs and led for all other lighting will a warning light come on. We are learning as go and Im looking at a lot of threads to try to feed my brain thanks in advance.

I have a 08 ML 550 and I use Mobil-1 0w-40. I changed all the interior lights and rear license plate lamp to led from a kit on ebay. They have built in resistors so the lamp out warning on the dash doesn't come on. I get the oil and other parts from ECS tuning. Good luck with it!

Is premium fuel only on ML550?

Anthony550

I use 93 octane because it "pings" in the summer with lower octane fuel.. The ML 350 and ML63AMG recommends premium too I am pretty sure.

Awesome thanks for your reply. I run Royal Purple in my Lexus IS-F and use a K&N oil filter so I might just run the same thing in my wifes ML
