hi peeps =) i have a `04 C230K 6speed... what milage is the service A due ? service B ? and when you drive it what rpm is the best to shift gear ? thanx peeps... i just wanna take a good care of my benz =)

 

It should tell you when you need service A and B on the computer (usually every 10000 miles). As far as shifting, it doesn't really matter where you shift as long as you're not past the redline. I usually shift around 3000 rpm.

 

oh ..thank you much man... does the warranty cover service A or B ?

 

Warranty does not cover service A or B on Mercedes now. It does on a new BMW.
Get ready to pay for an expensive oil change.

 

My 2004 C230K Coupe covers maintenance until the warranty is out. I believe the 2002 through 2004s included it; someone please corect me if I'm wrong.

 

how much is it for an oil change? and do i need to get it done every 3000miles? thanks again

 

>>how much is it for an oil change?<<

Bend over every 10k miles or 12 months!!! Around here an A service runs $225 to $260 and a B service runs $450 to $550 depending on the dealer.

 

oh okay..dats not bad... thanx guy.. so i don have to worry for like 10k miles rite? will it show on my dash if it needs a service?

 

I'd be interested in the answer to this question as well - which years does warranty cover maintenance? (similar to BMW's)
