I have a 2017 GLE350. Technical at MB recommend me replace spark plugs. Claims it’s in “fair” condition. Do you think it should be replaced now? Or can I wait a lil longer? Mechanic's Assistant: How many miles are on the Mercedes? When was the last time the plugs were changed? 60,000 wasn’t replaced ever Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your GLE350 yourself? What have you tried so far? No at Mb

Hello, my name is Shawn. I am going to help you with your question. The usual service interval for the spark plugs is 100k, so they are probably in fair condition at 60k. It is really up to you. You could replace, but it is not exactly necessary at this mileage.

Ok Shawn. Also the automatic transmission fluid was recommended as well .
Automotive Expert
This is usually done at 100k as well, but early transmission flushes, especially the first one, can help extend the life of the transmission. If I was going to do anything I would do the transmission. Make sure they do a flush, not just a pan drain and fill

Ok Thank you very much
