E63 AMG 2016 - rear differential fluid change
So I am about 100 days late for my A service (ok, well, have been busy) and finally brought it in and the dealer tells me I have to change rear differential fluid at 2000 miles (I have 7000-something right now) - for $200.
Am I being taken for a ride here?

Diff Change
I decided to do mine at 30,000 (2012 E63) knowing that it was done at 5,000. I avoided the dealer and found a local shop who used MBZ fluid and they only charged me $189. I had them provide a fluid sample from the diff when they changed it, I think it looked good, but boy did it smell! Taste wasn't bad.

I did mine at 3,000km and it cost $200 @ MB . It is a requirement (was on the windshield sticker and page 136 in the owner manual) and then every 50K km (31K miles) after that.
