CL 500 info
 

I'm looking to purchase a '00/'01 CL 500 and have been told by dealers that if I do my own oil changes that the car must be brought in to the dealer to reset something or other or clear a code. Is this true and if so, how can I do this myself? Also, where can I purchase the Mercedes shop manual for this car. I do virtually all the work on cars I have ever owned and would like to continue this with the CL 500. Never owning a Mercedes and talking with other people, I'm not sure this is possible. Any info would be greatly appreciated. One other question, are there any typical problems with the CL500 that I should be aware of before purchase? Many thanks.

The servicing reset can be done from the instrument cluster without special tools.
