Ok, I am probably going to have to break this question down... I have my Maintainance Book in front of me.

My car is due for its Lubrication Service 82.5K miles, per p 77 of Maintainance Book it is Engine oil and filter change, but don't they lube other items that require lub (ie doors, etc)? I figured the book would detail more items.. maybe its just an oil change?

Brakes? I have receipts for front brakes at 59K miles 7/2001, but no receipt for rear brakes. I know the brakes are inspected at certain service intervals. Would it be likely that rear brake pads have lasted the 82K miles? I am going to look at the pads anyway in the next coming weeks. Fronts have about 12K miles on them, not sure how long mercedes pads last? front rotors were also changed at that time.

90K service -> this is one is just coming up in about 7K miles (aka about 4 mths from now).. it has a long list of items to be done, taking up about 2-3-4 pages in my manual . Haven't gone into it yet, but some of the items seemed kinda basic, not sure on all , as I haven't read it all. Is this one of those deals that a shop charges like $600 for, LOL? tranny oil, etc, I imagine..

I am just getting kinda lazy, and if I can pay for it , I might as well pay someone to do the service vs doing it myself, I guess... not enough time...

Later
