" Long Life " Service Schedule"

Anyone heard of a "Long Life Service Schedule" ?? Just been told by a dealer that a Sport 2012 is on this.
I questioned the fact that it missed 18 months until now without a service Rolling Eyes Question

i did note, when selling mine recently, that the service book says that it (also a 2012) should be serviced every 16500 miles or 1 year without saying "whichever comes first". So it could easily do 16500 miles between services regardless of time. Merc C220 estate Sport AMG

Should still be done at 12 months irrespective of mileage. Mine service book defiantly says or 12 months after previous service.

Well you don't seem to have hit a problem yet. But if you sell in the future a big gap between services might impact on value. Besides, these are complex beasts and expensive to fix. I wouldn't skimp on servicing, religiously 12 months. Some do interim oil changes for variants with oil dilution issues.

That goes against everything L/R service schedule for the RRS1 says. If it's a main dealer I think I would look elsewhere because their talking s**t.

Agree with Col. Who the actual Censored told you that bull Censored ?

Unusual for a dealer to say needs less servicing, usually more so they can more frequently dip your pocket. Unless he thought you were worried about running costs...

Golden rule for me is read the owner book. Done it with every motor I've had. Useful info esp re servicing etc. Maybe I'm just a cynic but the garage trade does have the odd dodgy geezer who will tell you any old to get your cash.

I think it depends what country you are in.

That is what my old service book states anyway

Absolutely no mention of 2 years or 20,000 miles in my service book in any market, in fact a big percentage actualy say 8,000 miles or six months.

Is this a potential purchase?

The only time I envisage a dealer saying this is they are trying to sell a vehicle that is missing some service history and they are trying to convince a customer it is correct.

Ask them to provide the literature they quote and if they also offer a warranty, ask that company how they would View this. 2012 5.0 SC AB

Have to agree with Chris on this one, being cynical if tried for warranty repair first thing they will say, not been serviced as per manufactures specification, sorry Rejected. Also if it is a Main Dealer they are basically Lying, as they should know their own products.

I have never gone to 15k, I always get it serviced at 12k ish. Not a huge difference I know, but I have always believed in oil as being the most important service component there is.
