Guys,

The "STEALOR" wants $250 for an oil change. Does anyone know of any good articals on "how to change your own oil?". I'm fairly mechanicly inclined......Surely this can't be too difficult??..................Thanks!

Damn Sarge two and a half for a lube job? Where is your dealer... in the red light district!

 

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)
