2012 C300 is due for service.
The service book indicates the C300 gets a transmission fluid change at 40,000 miles. I'm confused because the service tech says that this isn't due until 70K.
What's correct?

How many miles or Km are on your car? if your at 40,000Miles thats 64,000ish Km get the service done! Make sure they drain the TC read this thread you will find all your answers here.

This is what my service book indicates for my 2011 also. I had my tranny fluid changed at that time.

I'm glad you posted this. I just got my car back from service and when i asked the same thing they said it is pushed back until 60k miles.

The service tech is correct if you have the 7G+ tranny that uses the new blue tranny fluid. All the transmissions with the blue fluid have longer service interval. Run your vin and see if you have the reduced friction option, or call your dealer sales department and ask them what type of fluid your car takes based on the vin and you'll know.

Long time lurker, just had my 30k service for a 2013 C300 4matic, was also told that 72k is the service interval for transmission flush on the 7g plus. I think all 2013+ have them, but not sure about prior so check your VIN as suggested.
