Enter your VIN at this site and it will tell you what engine and transmission you have (in addition lots more useful info about your C350): http://carinfo.kiev.ua/cars/vin/mercedes/vin_check

If you will be keeping this car after warranty I would recommend you change fluid every 40,000 mi. Cheep insurance. That is the current standard for most new MB's. Not too long ago it was"good for lifetime". That didn't work.

According to the service manual the dealer is right. M276 needs the transmission oil changed very 70K miles. You can read it yourself on MBUSA website...
