for ya'll that still have mb's under warrenty i would suggest getting
things in writting and to double check your filters and such.
also remember that the fss system doesn't tell you to check and replace stuff
every four years regardless of miles. nor does it tell you to check stuff more
often if you are in the city or are in a dusty area.
i see it and i live it and my customers pay for it.
the new system is just a mileage reminder.

Well no I know it does not tell you what to check, but the owners manual does. And I tell you my dealer better be doing full Services because they and I both signed documents stating it was covered. Now with the 2005's they make you of course pay for the Services. I did talk to a tech that had to come to the house for an issue and he said that since the FSS and the 10K oil changes came out they have been seeing more sludge problems in the engines. Which I would think you would see with Dyno oil and maybe he was refering to that instead of Synth but who knows. When I hit 50K and the warranty is over I am doing them every 5-7K miles myself. Should not have sludged up in the first 50,000 miles I would think but who knows. MB did not even give me a damn dipstick whick I think is crap, since it forces you to go to the dealer. I am going to request one from my dealer, hopefully they will give me one if they ever want me to buy another MB from them again. Oh well I guess in the long run we will see.
