Gilly, I do an "enhanced" A-service every 15,000km's (about 10K-miles) where I replace the cabin dust filter and engine air filter.

Here's my routine:

Every time the FSS counts down 5K-km's (3K-miles) I change the oil and filter (usually works out to 7500km's/4500miles in "real" miles) and then when the FSS "zeros" I do the above.

Every 48K km's (about 30K-miles) I change the plugs.

Every 60K-km's (~40K-miles) I change the fuel filter.

Every 80K-km's (~50k-miles) I change the final drive oil.

Every 100K-km's (~60K-miles) the tranny fluid (dealer does).

Despite the changes on the C-Class, I still have the brake fluid and coolant changed every other spring, like the "old" MB service schedule.

At the "A" services I check the car carefully from top to bottom.
