Is a B-Service Mandatory for the Second Year Maintenance of a Mercedes-Benz?

[Elsa]

Mercedes-Benz requires a B-service for the second year maintenance. The A-service for Mercedes-Benz typically involves changing the engine oil and oil filter, while the B-service includes replacing the engine oil and oil filter, as well as the air filter, cabin air filter, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and other items. A-service: This is the minor maintenance for the vehicle, referring to the basic maintenance tasks performed at the manufacturer's specified time or mileage to ensure vehicle performance, primarily including oil and filter replacement. B-service: This is the major maintenance for the vehicle, referring to the maintenance tasks performed at the manufacturer's specified time or mileage. The B-service includes the A-service, and typically, A and B services are alternated. For example, the first maintenance might be an A-service, followed by a B-service at the next maintenance. The third maintenance item is then determined based on the vehicle's specific usage. If everything is normal, an A-service is performed, and this alternation continues.
