Arrow Approaching 90,000 Miles

Hey Everyone!

I have a 2003 S500 and it has around 89,700 miles on it. It keep reminding me to bring it for SERVICE B in 300 Miles (So I assume it's the 90K Service?)...

My question is, what is the dealership doing for me with the B Service, and what should I be servicing on the car when it reaches 90,000 Miles?

Thanks!

thats a lot of miles! I think my folk's '01 has 65k on it. Just gotta keep driving people fwiw, my '05 A4 has 47k and its only 2 years old. The more you drive, the better these cars are ;-)

Have you changed the tranny fluid yet? That probably should be changed at that point. check for leaks, hoses, belts, etc. Oil change of course. Maybe spark plugs if those haven't been changed before. I know manual says 100k plugs but some have pulled out their plugs before and they're pretty dark.
