Normal charges for 15K Maintenance
How much do dealers normally charge for 15K service. I have 105,000 on my 96 E320.
I also would like to find out actually the hours (per labor manual) to perform all the service items below. I looked at the service manual and it looks like: check/adjust parking brakes Check brake pads/discs check front axle/balljoint/ steering play lubricate hood hinges and throttle linkage check all fluid levels check hoses (coolant system) check spark plugs/ replace if necessary check condition of poly V belt Oil Change Is changing the water pump/thermostat recommended at this stage? Should I use Mobil 1 synthetic oil or is regular oil OK? |

I have done all of these to my 92 400E by myself.
Without a hoist, I had to jack up my car using a hydraulic jack, I can do all these in 2 hours. Replacing all 8 spark plugs on my 400E took me another hour. For a pro with professional equipment, he may cut the time in half. Go with Mobil-1, I have Mobil-1 in all of my cars, I used Mobil-1 engine oil and ATF as well. I put in Mobil-1 when my 400E was 9 year old with 200K km, it doesn't leak at all.
