Maintenance/Service

Service A (minor) or Service B (major) done as per Mercedes Benz checklist and  following MB manual (WIS). We use certified oil MB229.5/229.51/229.52  and guaranteed to protect your engine for the next 15,000 km. The only brands that we use are Fuchs, Motul and Liqui Molly, all made in Germany.


At German Automotive we believe in shorter oil change intervals therefore although you can choose to follow Mercedes' own service intervals as displayed in your instrument cluster we suggest oil changes at every 10,000 km interval. For this reason you will find an oil sticker attached to your driver's door jamb set at 10,000 km.

​
Be observant of exclamation signs in your instrument cluster and other warnings/telltales as they signal either issues or services due. Always consult your service manual if unsure of what they mean. Never drive for longer distances with a flashing check engine light.
