We want to save on maintenance so I did the 20K service on her diesel.
Oil change and filter was a piece of cake. Although 9 quarts of oil is a big difference compared to our 4 qt changes!
Anyway, do I need a special tools to change the fuel filter? I'd imagine it should be filled with diesel before I install it. Same procedure as changing out the VW's?
I tried asking over at the mercedes forum and some responses are: won't you be out of warranty if you do it yourself? That made me laugh.
Mercedes wants $400 for 20K service, so far I've spent $160 on all the parts needed.
