2012 ML350 Suggested Maintenance. Just bought!!

Need advice guys.We just bought our 2012 ML350 with 43K miles. It’s CPO plus we got the additional 2 years of extended warranty from MB. Buying a new car just didn’t make sense for us right now and everything else in this class seemed priced higher.

questions:

1) Besides Service A and Service B, what should I do to make sure this thing lasts long? Oil and filter changes every how many miles? Any other recommended maintenance?

2) any accessories people love? We bought the all weather trays for front and rear seats. Also bought the cargo tray. All from MB dealer.

3) any other suggestions?

thanks!

You should be safe then. Regular maintenance, but IMHO, oil changes more frequent than recommended. And don't forget tranny/t-case.

Thanks. How frequent do you mean for oil changes and what are you suggesting for maintenance for transmission?

I'm curious about your in service date vs the 2 year CPO extension. MY 2012 to year 2018 is 6 years. A 2 year extension could bring the total coverage to 8 years. Would you mind posting the in service date of your car to see if the CPO coverage carries it past 7 total years? Thank you so much! (if you have the Carfax that should give you the in service date).

Just checked with Jeff. He said it’s eligible through 2021 no issues. I know the inservice date is late 2011 but can’t access CARFAX right now.

Before 100k kms or 60k miles
