Whether you're on this forum to receive help or advice, or want to just connect with other MB owners, I truly believe in the idea that you should learn as much about your vehicle as you can. Brand new, any given Mercedes-Benz vehicle is tens of thousands of dollars, some of them in the 6-figure range. You could either buy a house or put a down payment on one for the cost of an MB vehicle. Therefore, I think it's only logical and responsible for you as owners to learn how these cars work and how you can make that engine and transmission last as long as possible through proper care and maintenance.
Utilize Google and YouTube, they hold a plethora of knowledge!
My personal favorite is YouTube; people can make jokes or throw insults if they want but that's how I got into the industry and have thrived. I recommend Science Garage by Donut Media, they try to make science fun. As a matter of fact, a significant number of those videos were shown in my Automotive Technology class in college. Very informative, somewhat funny.
