If your car has the limited slip diff you should have had the fluid changed on that at 1875 miles. Oil change at that point is not required but I had it done anyway. Next service is at 10,000 miles. All of this is in your mb Maitenance schedule you should have received when you bought the car.

i'm pretty sure i have the lsd but not possible. it should be on the sticker right? guess if i do have it i better get the fluid changed asap.

You should have a sticker on your front windshield about it if you have not removed it yet. I would also check your build sheet or window sticker if you don't see a sticker in your front windshield. If you lost all of the above they can allways look it up by vin number at the shop or you can crawl under your car and check - I can see my diff pretty clearly even without a lift.

Just curious what did you pay for the change? My dealership has a history of over charging

$170.

if you have the limited slip differential you'll need to do the flush on the fluid. i also did my oil change at 5,000 miles. then another at 10,000. i think it's all personal preference but the standard is every 10K, i like to do the first a bit earlier followed by the second.

looked at my sticker and guess i don't have the lsd. Weird cause i thought all launch edition cls's had them.

Time to think about the Renntech LSD upgrade.
