[?] What is this A service and b service I hear guys talking about. I can't seem to find it in my manual, or I just don't recognise it?

I have a 1998 SLK 230 and the "Owner Manual" does not talk about the A service and the B service, but the "Service Booklet" does, basically the the booklet list what should be done for the A service and the B service, like replace brake fluid, change spark plugs and etc. the B service is done when the car has gotten to a major mileage point like 60,000 miles, then other things are changed or checked, then you go back to the A service until you get to another major mileage point like 120,000 miles, then it is the B service and etc. If you do not have a Service Booklet, check with your MB dealer for a replacement.
