Question
Is it possible to do my own oil changes AND reset the computer?  Is changing the filter any different from any other cars?  Besides having the radiator flushed annually and the oil changed regularly, do I need the dealer
inspections?  Also, I bought a fuel filter.  Are there any tricks to installing it?

Good morning Brian! It really isnt any different from any other car. You just dont want to use a cheap oil filter!And i also think that car calls for mobil 1 synthetic. Which you do want to use!
Make sure you use a genuine MB filter or one of the better aftermarket filters like wix, Mahle, or something like that. When you reset the instrument cluster, you will need your owners manual. It will tell you how to do it in there.
Thanks and i hope this helps! Rick
