All I do is change fluids and filters when needed, and bleed the air every 500 miles if it needs it or not. Not turn key, but not much of a hassle either.
Not for you or I, but there ARE people out there who couldn't be bothered to even keep track of, much less do (or even have someone else do), what you just listed - and then scream bloody murder about the warranty when the vehicle finally gave out on them.
2 weeks ago, I took the replacement '87 MB to get it inspected. There was a young lady there with a gasser Jetta getting it serviced, fairly new at least an 03 or 04. After she left, the mechanic showed me the oil fill cap they'd replaced - it was covered in nearly 1/8" of black crud. She hadn't bothered having the oil changed in over 10K miles - on a gasser at that!!!!
People that treat a vehicle like that ought to be forced to live and work where thay can take a bus, ride a bicycle, or walk.

But then again...... I got a friend that bought a vito mercedes 2.2 litre diesel 5 years ago, this thing absolutely rocks, when he picked it up and completed the 1000 k check, they said, well sir see you in 20 000 ks, thats right nothing to do but check levels for 20k. This thing is still pumping better than a f37'd KJ and is at 170 000 ks.
So, my point is, why aint the KJ like that, better than that. HMMMMM........
