Any advice for Service D on my CLS55 AMG?

Hi guys.
I'm a new member in this forum so please be gentle
I would like to inquire about service D on my CLS55. Actually, I purchased MBCPO CLS55 AMG few days ago and it has 42000 miles on it. However, it indicates I need to get 'service D' in 7500 miles.
Anybody know does MBCPO covers that 'service D'? Or do I have to pay to get service D? Because I thought MBCPO can covers every maintenance service(of course except tires). That's why I'm considering to extend 2 more years CPO warranty.
This is first time I owned AMG so I want to maintain well as much as I can.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks.

Maintenance costs Inc all A B C D services are
By Owner

Repair costs are covered for 12 mo/100k mi
By the MB CPO

After that may God have mercy on your wallet

Try to get a extended warranty now before the
Car gets to old for one

Congrats on the pick up! The best advice I can give you is either do your own service/maintenance if you're handy but if you aren't then I strongly suggest getting service done by a reputable indie MB mechanic. Avoid going to the dealership for regular services. It's pure rape. An indie MB mechanic will save you hundreds on one single service alone. Where do you live? Let us know and we can search for a recommended indie mechanic in your area.

Hi Chris.
I appreciate for your reply.
Actually, I don't know where the MB indie shop & mechanic around my area because I just came town 6 months ago.
That's why I'm struggling to maintain my vehicle.
I'm living Greensboro N.C
If you can give me advice for any reputable indie shop or any MB mechanic around my area, it will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
Brian.

Where can one go to find infos on reputable MB Indy in my area? I assume the work they do will still be covered by MB warranty if something goes wrong, right?

Congrats on your new ride. If you are mechanically inclined, I suggest investing a couple hundred dollars into tools and performing this service yourself. It's quite easy. If you have your owner's manual, look towards the back table and it will spell out what is needed. Once you find it, if you have any specific questions, holler back at me and I can assist with more detailed instructions.
Good luck!

Remember the oil drain plug is single use which means replacement with each oil change and don't forget the oil needs to meet the MB spec 229.51

Good luck
