Best check what has been done and when. Some items of the service are performed based upon time or distance. Doing everything will be pricey and may not be necessary. Take a look at the ESS to work out what is due: Mercedes-Benz UK | Electronic Service Sheet

In both Service A and Service B the engine oil and filter get replaced.
Also, on the C-Class Service B includes pollen/cabin filter change.
The main difference between Service A and Service B is in the number of items checked, i.e. more checks are carried-out in a Service B. As an example, in Service B the wheels come off for a thorough visual inspection of the discs and pads, while in Service A the brakes are inspected with the wheels in place.
But in terms of replacing additional filters or fluids, these are not included in either service.
So for a complete catch-up on all service items, you will need:
- Engine oil and filter (included with Service A or Service B)
- Pollen/cabin filter change (included with Service B)
- Fuel filter change
- Air filter change
- Break fluid change
- ATF and filter change (if automatic)
- Coolant change (unless original 15-year coolant)

As above .
Oil extractor 6.5L or above .
Oil , 229.51 , 229.52 for better fuel economy or upgrade to VW 507.00 for lower saps and better protection etc .
ATF , 5 year / 77,500 is crucial asumming it's a facelift 7g ?
Mann or Hengst air , fuel and oil filters .
Mann Hummel FreciousPlus Activated Charcoal pollen filter .
Then there's the redesigned parts because the originals leak coolant !

Are you looking to service the car DIY, or do you plan to book it in with a dealer or specialist?
