I took it to another dealer and they told me they could NOT get the system to reset manually so they went into the electrical system and reset it with the DRB. They changed the oil and filter too. I am sorry to say it has only about 2000 miles since that oil change and I had it changed just prior to winter storage. They made no mention of having to electrically reset the timer. Since I drive so little I change my oil yearly; just before I store it for the winter. I only drive it about 4000 miles or so a year. It will get less now that I bought the 05 roadster.

I do change all the other fluids -- coolant, transmission, brakes, etc. based on time rather then miles also. I have always done that with all my stored cars. Some may consider this over kill but it has worked for me.

It is my guess one of two things. They did not change the oil/filter or they didn't even know how to reset the timer or some combination of the above.

I only use 0-40 Mobil 1 in all my Mercedes. I also only use a fleece filter. I found the first Chrysler dealer did not use a fleece filter. Really made me suspect they used Mobil 1 0-40. That is the reason I had the oil changed after a 1000 miles. Just a side note my newer Mercedes only requires a oil change every 13,000 miles. Yes that is not a typo. I just can't let it go that long so I change that at 6500 miles and again at another 6500 when it requires a A or B service. By the way it all my Mercedes take the same filter and 0-40 Mobil 1. You can NOT rest the FSS on the newer Mercedes. I have to take it in for their service to get it reset.
