Wellll......I gave my Crossie her first bath (by me) and hand dried her, still feel we are getting to know each other. When I was on my knees washing the wheels and tires I noticed the tires said made in Germany, so they are originals. I called garages the other day and kinda interviewed the mechanics to see how much they knew about Crossies b4 I bring her in for a checkup. One guy said the oil type didn't matter as long as Mercedes was ok with it....true? I thought Mobil 1 was the only one to use?

I popped the hood and checked out all the high tech stuff, wow. I have an automatic but couldn't find the dipstick. Found dipstick for the oil - or maybe that was the tranny? Is there anything that should be checked on a weekly basis on these little guys?
