Routine service

Good Evening

Any garage can service a g wagon

Just tell them what oil you want to  put in engine and genuine or non genuine filters and they will sort it and trans if auto depending on what service interval is due

If its a 1991 it will have issues that no garage can help but as for servicing and a check over any good garage will do it

Just be sure you trust their serviceHow many miles has it done

You can download a service sheet here for the car

http://lite.servicemercedes.co.uk/pc/pc_start.asp

It will list all the service tasks and you can take this to your chosen garage for them to tick off.

here's a list (some of the cosmetics may not apply, and only items in bold for regular service.

No, not every year.

Brake fluid every 2 years and coolant: every 3 years (if G48 type)

Diff-lock fluid : every 2 years, with brakes-fluid.

Transfer-case and differentials, every 30,000 miles, but with synthetics, you could go longer.

Prop-shafts: every year.

Front steering ball-joints (repack with grease): every 2 or 3 years

Power-steering fluid might as well do every year or every other year as its a small quantity.(There is a washable filter at the bottom of the reservoir) and easy to siphon out and re-fill.

Spark-plugs, depending on type, but every 20,000 - 25,000 miles for standard-fit versions, and similar interval for distributor cap and rotor. The M103 engine can be quite severe on these parts. Platinum/ iridium versions may go to 60,000 miles.

Transmission fluid, every 20,000 miles for the standard, mineral-oil version of Dexron-II or Dexron-III equivalents. However, if you re-fill with a synthetic fluid, you will noticed improved shifts and you can consider it to be good for at least 60,000 miles, if not more. I have used Fuchs 5000 SL and have seen a definite improvement. http://www.fuchslubricants.com/titan-atf-5000-sl

I think I may have an MB service sheet for older vehicles, somewhere. I'll have a look.

(Apart from the engine, the service sheet you have found for the newer G's will still be applicable for many other items)
