Does anyone know how to reset the oil service interval?

Take it to your dealer.

All of the Benzes that I have owned previously that had FSS, had the reset procedure in the manual. The Metris gives the same answer that Greenmanedlion gave, which is probably not what FlyDSky was looking for. I have found the procedure for resetting the service for Sprinter and it might be a place to start. I have not tried it, yet.

Key on 1, on mileage, press and hold answer then hold OK. Scroll to service reset, then OK. (This is all by memory, will update when I'm back at a benz)

reset instructions

I have attached the reset instructions that were sent to me. Please note that the first set, for vehicles without steering wheel buttons, is OK but the second set were not scanned properly. I think they may be enough but have contacted my source for a better scan and will post it when I receive it.

A clearer version of that document is available here:

But I sure couldn't get it to reset the oil service time. Did you succeed?

Cool, I was hoping j would be able to do this myself.

I finally got my service message to reset. Here's how:
Put the key to position 2.
Use arrow keys so it shows how many miles you've driven (part of the first trip series of options).
Hit the phone key and hold it down.
Immediately hit the OK button and hold it down as well.
In 10 seconds up comes a menu to follow to register that you've done the oil change/service which resets ASSYST Plus to 14,900 miles.
This video explains it:

Based on the written guidance I was doing a bunch of things similar to that, but not quite it.

Thanks, tcp, for posting this. It certainly simplifies the procedure. Mine is not due for another 7 months but I do want to know how to do it when the time comes.

Hmm, this sequence didn't work for me. Any ideas? (I do need to visit the dealer for some touch up paint). :smile:

Just did the A service following the service sheet that RobbMeex posted and reset the service reminder following Rob and tcp's posts and it worked fine. Thank you both!

Interesting finds: The spare was at 35 psi and the filter element was really hard to slide off the holder

Thank you all for this thread! I have never paid for someone else to change my oil, and hope I never have to. I trust no-one but me when it comes to the lifeblood of my vehicle.

This worked for me. Thank you

The filter comes off in a surprising fashion...lol, I thought for sure I broke it!

We have had MANY problems getting filter #1 off. After that, they remove much easier.

I take my pocket screwdriver and break the edge of the filter in 2 places and it slides right off.
