Does it have any grease fittings? If so where?bill - 2002 Mercedes Benz S500 - Preventive Maintenance - 4/20/2012The car is very squeaky like an old door.-
4/20/2012 JimmTypically, there are very few - if any - grease fittings - compared to previous years. Most of the lubrication point are 'lifetime sealed' such as ball joints or steering tie rod ends.
Often, the squeaky noise you are hearing may be due to dry suspension bushings - inspect them for excess wear, replace as necessary. If in good shape, then apply squirt of WD40 or other spray lubricant.

Just bought a '00 e320 Benz. Should I go to dealer to change oil? Is there a charge to diagnose if problems exist?Benzblessed - 2000 Mercedes Benz E320 - Preventive Maintenance - 3/18/201275,000 miles... Although display reads service b needed in 6000 miles. Help!-
3/18/2012 HouseCallAutoSure, go to the dealer if you want to get the most expensive oil change you have ever seen in your life. Read your owners manual to identify what "service B" means, it also might say how to reset the message center. Service b actually means the oil and filter change and a complete look over for brake pad wear, rotate tires if needed, yadda, yadda yadda, etc, etc. Just a routine check of basics, no worries. The reset procedure is also printed in your owners manual, requires no special tools, just patience to understand the steps. Button pushing. Go to your local guy that you have had fix your other cars. he can change the oil in your 320 and likely rest the message center.

My GLK's mileage is approaching 50K miles soon. Which component(s) has the potential of breaking?glk350dude - 2010 Mercedes Benz GLK350 - Preventive Maintenance - 3/18/2012What would you recommend to be checked before my warranty expired?-
3/18/2012 JimmAny component has the potential to break at any time. Breakage, or failure - is not necessarily mileage-specific.
Aslong as the routine andrecommended maintenance is performed there should be few surprises.
