RE: Photo DIY- Air Filter Replacement, G55

Thanks. I always wondered how that came apart. Unreal that the engine is so complicated that I need an instruction manual to change the air cleaner

BTW my handbook suggests new air cleaners at 50,000 Km that's about 36000miles/2years

As I have mentioned before, there is a difference between the "European" and the USA WIS.

My "Suspicion" is that since MBUSA had included "Free Service" on their vehicles during the Warranty Period, they "Modified" the Service Intervals to fall OUTSIDE the Warranty Period, so they would not have to pay.....

But, this is just MY theory......... (I also believe in the "Second Shooter on the Grassy Knoll"........)

This post reminded me of my very dirty air filter. I replaced it today after 4 years with 70000km driving. Tomo
