- Engine Air Filter replacement (part ordered, and will DIY it)
- Fuel Injection Cleaning (I don't think it is necessary)
- Form Optimization (I have no idea what this is)
- Coolant replacement (at 40K?!?!?)
Thanks in advance,
-S

Thanks, but I already checked, and I don't see anything but the coolant replacement at 150k miles. I just want to make sure what I see is right and if I am not missing anything.

air filter - regardless of number of miles, check the condition of the filter and change it as necessary.
fuel injector cleaning - Use a bottle of Techron/Chevron or BG44 or similar product.
coolant replacement - I'd replace the coolant. Preventive maintenance goes a long way.
form optimization - either your service advisor [or you] must be smoking some thing :-)

Here is what was included in the quite for my ML diesel.
Oil & filter
Fuel filter (diesel only)
Cabin & dust filters
Air filters
Brake fluid flush
Nothing about coolant flush or form.
Side question: flushing coolant what are the steps?

If there is no pet-co*k valve, I'd just disconnect lower radiator hose and let the coolant drain there. I have not looked under the radiator on ML350 to see if there is that valve...
