Stupid Question here: What is snake oil? lol I googled it and it wasn’t what I THOUGHT it was.

"Snake oil is a term used to describe deceptive marketing, health care fraud, or a scam. Similarly, snake oil salesman is a common label used to describe someone who sells, promotes, or is a general proponent of some valueless or fraudulent cure, remedy, or solution. "

No wonder it’s not in the owner’s manual. But the owner’s manual states to NEVER change the transmission oil and everyone I talk to (people who work on their own cars) says transmission oils should be changed and that it doesn’t make sense that the differential oil will last forever. May I ask your opinion on this as well?

Wow. Mercedes Benz is really squeezing everything.

Who in the right mind is purchasing a Mercedes Benz and then paying an additional subscription to accelerate at it’s full potential. Shouldn’t the full potential come with the car? I hope this doesn’t gain momentum.

I think this is for EV Mercedes Benz but still:

"How much is Mercedes acceleration annual fee?

Mercedes-Benz had initially set the subscription at $1,200 per year, but now it’s been reduced a bit to a slightly-less-unreasonable rate. The automaker is also letting you pay a one-time fee of $1,950 on the EQE and $2,950 on the EQS to unlock the Acceleration Increase permanently. Apr 27, 2023 "

Where and how to you grease the area? This same thing is happening to me on my gf’s Honda Accord and it seems like the creaking noise is coming from the same area as OP

There really isn’t a video showing where and how to properly add grease. What part of the latch am I greasing?

Why can I find any instructions on this? Video or article. There is absolutely nothing in my Owner’s manual about this.

Is there another servicing manual I don’t know about?
