In my booklet for Maintenance the lubrication is 7,500 miles and maintenance is 15,000 miles.the last page of these service reminder is 187,500 miles.
In my world, after the insured time period I revert to a belt, hose and fluid protocol that is preventive. Time not mileage is the factor. The Benz will be driven weekly but maybe twice a year I will travel 1000 miles in a week so the annual mileage is about 5K.
The Emission work: oil and filter 7,500 Spark plugs, Air, transmission and fuel filters and 30,000 The 2 year mark has brake fluid and hydraulic fluids body corrosion inspection and 3 years is antifreeze related.
I hope this meets your request.
Where in the world are you?
