154,469KM

B Service Completed.

Oil Changed with Mobil 1 0W-40 (Because of it being winter and it being on sale for $31.99 + $10 Canadian Tire gift card each) and a Genuine MB Filter which is a Purflux filter. I don't like using Hengst or Mann for M276 solely because of the lack of filter media as compared to Purflux.

Changed the cabin air filter (Hengst BlueCare), including the pollen filter (Regular one, not Hengst BlueCare solely because it's a bit excessive for the air quality in Canada) + Hengst engine air filter (Which states to be changed every 4 years or 80,000KM, changed it early) I think this has something to do with the filters that sit in the front upper cover. I typically prefer Mann for most of the filters, but due to pricing, Hengst wins out; better value.

Realized the car doesn't require brake fluid exchange until you reach the two-year mark, regardless of mileage, according to the MY2015 service booklet.

The last oil filter used was a Hengst filter; notice the filter media quality and overall quality of the filter, which is pretty cheaply made. I recommended using a Mahle or Purflux (OE supplier for Genuine ones), which uses a triangular pattern.

This was approximately a 14,000KM oil change interval, but I highly do not recommend this.

Filters had ~40,000KM

The next thing to replace is probably the batteries when I have the time.

Replaced the Battery sole due to Age and the Battery being on sale at Canadian Tire.

Have yet to change the Aux Battery. I will do it later down the line once I have issues.
