Diesel engine fuel filter gets replaced every 4 years/40k miles (pg.12)
Both the gasoline and diesel engines need oil changes every 10k, so there's no difference in cost or requirements between the two.
Gasoline engines require new spark plugs at 60k miles... diesels don't have spark plugs.... and a 5/50k service contract won't cover spark plugs because it's outside the mileage of the contract.
I just took delivery of a 2014 E350 and the prepaid maintenance didn't make sense. After running the numbers I would save virtually nothing. With no savings to me, what is the point? Also remember as time goes by you are paying the service bills with cheaper dollars due to inflation and the time value of money. Seems like another way for the Stealer to get a lump some of money to help their bottom line.
According to MBUSA it will all come down to the dealer and their pricing. If you are fortunate enough to live where there are many dealers then choose the best price.
