I pay $61.35 for 8 qts of Amsoil 5w-40, plus another $12 for the Purolator (Mann) oil filter at Autozone. Change it every 5000 miles.

 

I see 7,000 miles for the oil change from Chrysler but the SLK320 and 32 are rated for 12,000 miles by Mercedes. 7,000 obviously isn't going to hurt anything other than maybe your wallet.

 

I'm new to the Crossfire, so if I'm missing something please set me straight. The way I understand the FSS system, aren't we supposed to change the oil when the computer tells us to? Doesn't the FSS system compute many variables concerning how the car was driven, temps, speed, etc. in determining the oil change cycle. One can always change their oil whenever they want of course, but it seems to me to be pointless to pick a blanket mileage for everyone.

 

I believe you'd be correct as it would take into account any spirited driving you may do. Now if only I could figure out how to work the thing.

 

RESETTING THE FSS MAINTENANCE INDICATOR

1 Move the ignition switch to the “RUN” position

2 Within 4 seconds of moving the ignition switch into the
“RUN” position, press the reset button for the trip odometer
twice within one second The display for the FSS service
request is activated for 10 seconds

3 During the 10 seconds the FSS service request is displayed,
move the ignition switch to the “OFF” position
The FSS service request will continue to be displayed

4 Press the reset button for the trip odometer and hold

5 Move the ignition switch to the “RUN” position

6 Continue to press and hold the reset button for the trip
odometer (about 10 seconds) until the audible signal
sounds and the new start distance appears in the display
The tool symbol should disappear at this time

Just read it thru several times before doing the reset It sounds more complicated than it really is

 

Thank you, I thought I had it the last time I changed my oil but goofed it up and never bothered getting it right.

 

My local Walmart in Houston sell Mobil 1 0-40W for 6.23 Per Quart. Always seem to have some on their shelves.

 

I really don't think anyone over the age of 60 could possibly get this right!!

Shawn said that (yeah that's right he said it!)

LMAO. It took me 5 tries. That's after I had to read it and reread it 10 times. I'm sure Shawn you have a pretty good idea of the colorful language that was used in order to make it happen.
