Kenstudios is correct of how th reset the FSS - if you have any pronblems, there is a little more on resetting the FSS at http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w220...tting-fss.html

However, I would caution against skipping service. See the discussion especially on oil changes at http://www.benzworld.org/forums/w220...000-miles.html
