I have a MB E500 4matic 2005 model. Its coming up for service oil and filter, cabin filter, brake fluid flush and fill up according to the dealers book. How important is the brake fluid flush and fill up? and what frequency is necessary. same for cabin filter - is that for the air coming in?

If you have the owners manual there should be a matinance schedule in it. That will show what should be done at xxxx miles or ■■ months. As for the cabin air filter yes it helps with air coming in the car, You might even find a You Tube video and you can do it your self a save money. Chances are that there are other things that should have been done by now.

Cabin filters I do about every 20k along with the engine air filter. I’m a little late with the brake flushes but it really improves braking. The Acura dealer charged about $100 when I was in for something else. The indi shop on the other car was about $200.
Cabin air filter changes are usually easy and the shop often overcharges for it. This YouTube video shows how to do it for your car. You can buy the filter on line or maybe at a local auto parts store, or the dealer. Again, check on line for availability at any parts store.
