Gents-

Wife's got a '98 ML320 with ~ 80k. 2nd owner, got it @ 38k. Haven't done a thing to it except oil changes and tires (and $XXX,xxx,xxx,000's in warranty work before the 4/50 expired!!!).

I've got the print out of the suggested 60k interval stuff and hope to do some general things myself. Pad indicator is on so it's getting rotors and pads all around on the assumption that they're original (no records).

What do you all suggest I address, in order of importance? I was thinking brake fluid and coolant change, air filter, plugs, maybe belts, and fuel filter. Then I remembered the BS about the fuel filter change (F me) that the dealer will not 'cover'. Can I merely install another 'old' style one?

How about O2 sensor? Anything else?

Any suggesetions appreciated! I'm thick and need all the help I can...

ps. anyone selling 3rd row seats? twins coming...

pps. I run dino in this, 5k interval, light 'wife' driving. Thoughts?
