What does Mercedes-Benz B maintenance mean?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz's B maintenance involves replacing the air filter and cabin air filter, in addition to the items included in the A maintenance. Typically, A maintenance is performed at 10,000 kilometers, while B maintenance is carried out at 20,000 kilometers. B maintenance items: Includes air filter, cabin air filter, air conditioning sterilization, sunroof lubrication, intake tract throttle and fuel injector cleaning without disassembly, along with the A maintenance items. B maintenance is a major service for the vehicle, referring to the maintenance tasks performed at the intervals or mileage specified by the manufacturer. A maintenance items: Engine oil, oil filter, lubrication maintenance, windshield washer fluid top-up, full vehicle fluid inspection, computer diagnostics, drainage check, tire tightening, tire pressure (all 5 tires), chassis inspection (including suspension, brake discs, pads, and all chassis components), interior inspection (horn, headlight washer, seat belts, interior lights, cigarette lighter, and all functions), battery test, resetting maintenance and tire pressure warning lights. A maintenance is commonly referred to as minor maintenance, typically involving basic maintenance tasks performed at intervals or mileage specified by the manufacturer to ensure vehicle performance. The purpose of car maintenance: The goal of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent malfunctions, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life. Car maintenance refers to the regular preventive work of inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as vehicle upkeep.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz for over five years now. The Mercedes B-service actually refers to the major maintenance service performed on a Mercedes-Benz every approximately 20,000 kilometers or every two years. It's more comprehensive than the A-service, including oil and oil filter replacement, brake pad thickness inspection, air filter and cabin air filter renewal, battery charge test, etc. I think it's particularly important because these maintenance procedures can prevent minor issues from becoming major troubles. For example, unaddressed brake system wear could lead to accidents, or a clogged cabin air filter could affect in-cabin air quality. The cost ranges between 1,500 to 3,000 yuan - it's a bit expensive but worth it as it extends engine life and maintains high resale value. From my experience, getting the B-service done on time makes the car feel more stable to drive with lower fuel consumption. Otherwise, a single repair later on would cost much more, and regular maintenance saves a lot of hassle.
