- C350 CDI Blue Efficieny 2011 3.0litre V6 231BHP
Hi Guys,
I've recently bought my first Mercedes. It's the c350 Cdi Blue efficieny model. When I was looking to purchase I did notice some models came with 276 BHP though mine only has 231 BHP. Not that I'm complaining. It's a 2011 model on a 11 plate.
So they guy I bought the car from was really nice and his hospitality was really good. Giving that I traveled all the way from Manchester to south Croydon for the car. He full tanked the car and took me for a meal before hand.
Got the car on 34,609 miles. I've just hit 35,100 and the service A option as come up on my dash board and that I have 30 days left.
So me being me, decided to look up on YouTube on how to access the secret menu and disable it as the messages tend to get annoying.
I remember quite clearly that it was asking for a Service 2 and a Service 3.
I accidently reset the service notification.
I got in touch with the previous owner he mentioned that he had done a service on the car 31,000 miles and it was the full whack. Everything got changed.
Could anyone advise me on what exactly the car was asking for as looking on the net for me was a complete headache.
I'm guessing it's an oil change as I would do this to my previous diesel cars once it did half the miles before a service, but I don't even know which one is the best oil to use for the current car I have now.
I've never used castrol fully synthetic as that's what I've come across on the net. I've had VWs and Audi's. And I've always used Mobil 1.
Would really appreciate the help and guidance.
And thank you for taking the time to read this.
