If you think about it,, cars that have covered the 500,000 miles have done so on the old system using Mobil 229.1 oil the 229.3 that we have now is much better, so to bring the cars in earlier in nonsense.
I do not know if this was done for the fleet buyers, but couple in their policy of changing the disc and pads when under ½ worn and the rest "what a nice little earner"
The result is many unhappy customers,,when they did it to me,,the guy just laughed it of and said "just stick a liter of new oil in" So that ended my servicing with them.
On a practical note,,3 years ago the service parking was always full..these days I have the choice of many parking bays.
This whole thing also started at the same time as the R2R campaign started stopping the dealers from having the monopoly over motorist on where he gets his servicing done. The sale of dipsticks and the like came in at the same time,, its almost as though MB have stuck their two fingers up to any current legislation
