I guess I did not know about a filter that is replaceable. Where is it located?
I read about all the quality issues on the ML. and wonder if I really goffed buying one.
Purchased this 2000 ML-320 new and now has 51K on it.

So far the washer fluid tank was replaced early one, and I just replaced the Mass Air Flow sensor. The only other outstanding problem is an intermitent seat belt buckle switch that will need replaced. Hope my lck holds.

It's fantastic in the snow, can't believe the computer controls on the driving system, you'll be impressed.

I am concerned about these 10,000 miles oil changes with Mobil 1 0W-40 synthetic oil. From the old school of changing every 3000. (mind set I guess). Sure hope I'm not destrying the engine.

I have owned 8 MB's 240D's several; several 300D Turbo diesel, and a 300E

I love the way they ride and handle, however the ML has me a bit uneasy with all the quality issues.

Wish I had a diesel back!
