Quick Answer: What Is Service B?

Service B is a manufacturer-specified maintenance visit that follows Service A and helps keep your Mercedes-Benz performing as designed. The exact items can vary by model, model year, mileage, and powertrain, but a typical Service B visit includes:

Synthetic motor oil replacement and OEM oil filter replacement (model-dependent)
Cabin dust/combination filter replacement
Brake fluid exchange (time-based interval; commonly every 2 years)
Multipoint inspection (brakes, tires, suspension, lights, wipers, fluids, and more)
Tire inflation check and correction; tread/wear inspection (rotation when applicable)
Maintenance counter reset and any model-specific checks

Note: AMG®, diesel, plug-in hybrid, and high-performance models may have additional or different Service B items. We’ll review your VIN and maintenance sheet at write-up to confirm the exact scope.

When Is Service B Due?

Generally at about 20,000 miles or 2 years from new—after Service A—then at regular intervals thereafter.
Your vehicle’s instrument cluster and the Mercedes-Benz maintenance system will alert you when Service B is due based on time and mileage.
