Mercedes Service in Merriam, KS

Mercedes-Benz uses an alternating maintenance schedule with A-Service and B-Service intervals:

A-Service is the less comprehensive of the two and typically includes:

• Synthetic oil and filter change
• Fluid level checks and top-offs
• Brake component inspection
• Tire inflation check and adjustment
• Basic safety inspection

B-Service is more extensive and includes everything in the A-Service plus:

• Cabin filter replacement
• Brake fluid test (and replacement if needed)
• Engine air filter inspection or replacement
• Additional systems inspection including exhaust, steering, and suspension

While Mercedes-Benz officially recommends oil change intervals of 10,000-15,000 miles depending on the model and year, our experience suggests more conservative intervals:

• For turbocharged engines (including most current models): Every 7,500-8,000 miles
• For AMG models: Every 5,000-7,000 miles
• For BlueTEC diesel engines: Every 7,000-8,000 miles
• For older naturally-aspirated engines (pre-2010): Every 7,500-10,000 miles

No, you are not required to have your Mercedes-Benz serviced at the dealership to maintain your manufacturer's warranty. The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (federal law) protects your right to have your vehicle serviced at the independent shop of your choice without voiding your warranty.
