Ikelos i think that kdbcom is very right! You should go to the service ONLY when ASSYST says so!!! I read some service info for our cars and the specifications of the factory oils says they can handle 20000km and after this every 15000 if you use Mercedes recommended oils. Also in the service booklet it says clearly: "ASSYST plus is an advanced computerized system which calculate various variables to be sure that you make a service ONLY WHEN ITS NEEDED"
OK, what i did was not bad for the car but was bad for my pocket(!). And i could use the almost new (fully synthetic) oils to have them on my bike for the next 5-6 services , ha ha ha!! (Its a 125cc yamaha which needs only 750cc of oil...) Plus the fact that they replaced the AIR FILTER !!! (for 3700 km?????!!!!!!) In the manual says on the first 40000km!
