i think they charge the labor on the oil change reset light or the miles reminder,dont forget their labor rate is some where above $95 per hour......250 is little higher...but if you have the mobil 1 oils ...think again....
1 qt,about $6 or higher .except you buy at discount ....
adv...8 qts per oil change = $48.00+ $10.00 for the oil filter.just for the parts =$58.00 or more plus tax.
the cover under car some need to be remove will spend 10mins,drain the oil 5mins ,pull oil and change oil filter=5mins.
is talking about every parts beside you .it will spend 20mins to make it done+reset the light.$95.00+$58.00+tax= the min. charge for your oil change.
hey ...it just a fun looking at today oil change ....not a commen .....is somethings we have to think again......

Hello Sarge

The website is: http://mercedesshop.com

Go to the section of doit yourself. It got pictures and everything. You can buy the Mobil one oil at Cosco for $4 something a quart. The newer Mercedes doesn't have a drain plug.Good luck and let me know if it help. I been doing my BMW for 10 years and it runs soilid. I can wait for my warranty to expire to do my clk430. Somebodyelse on the forum posted on How to reset the FSS light.

$250 gotta be more than just an oil change.
Maybe that is the price for the service package (A or B, 250 should be "B" service)
