MB changed their position on "Lifetime" transmission fluid a long time ago. They recommend changing it every 60k....personally, I do it every year.

Brake fluid is supposed to be changed every TWO years. So yours is well overdue if original.

Coolant is good to change every 3-4 years....it costs what, $30 to do that? Big deal.

Not sure on the oil change, I thought they said to not use the FSS and instead change it every 7500 or 10,000 miles or something.

The "long-interval" services are not a good thing at all, just leads to lots of failed parts.
