4yr / 40,000 mile service - Few questions

Hello all.. My 2014 C300 Sport 4Matic will be approaching 4yr/ 40k mile service soon in Jan 2018.. Currently the car has 26,500 miles

Will be doing Oil change, Engine filter and cabin filter myself.

While I was going through the maintenance booklet I read it had two more required services.

1) Brake Fluid Flush ( might get done at the dealer if i have a coupon or a decent indy shop )
2) Rear axle Differential Fluid ( Limited Slip differential only )

Can anyone please explain to me regarding changing the rear axle differential fluid... How often do you guys do it on post 2012 models ? Does my car have limited slip differential ?

Also any other services you would recommend at the 4yr mark.

Thanks in advance

You don't have a LSD, that service is only for the C63. You only need to perform a brake fluid flush besides the oil change and filters.
