what do I need to do first/ check for?
Hi, this is my first AMG, and besides an oil change, what else should I do / look for to make sure the car is running healthy for the miles to come? One of my main questions: should I do a supercharger oil change at this mileage and age?
Car Info:
2006 CLS55 AMG
103,000 miles
Florida car
regular oil changes (every ~7000 miles) and has been serviced at the same Mercedes-Benz dealership since new
overall in very nice condition

Hi!
Please check my build thread for a lot of preventative maintenance: https://mbworld.org/forums/c219/8443...ld-thread.html
I would recommend:
Supercharger oil change
Oil change (I use Liqui Moly 5W40 + Liquimoly Ceratec)
Oil filter (Mann or original)
2x New oil plugs + copper rings
Gearbox oil change
Gearbox filter + gasket
Gearbox pilot bushing
Rear diff oil change
Rear diff 2x new plugs
16x Spark plugs
2x Air filters
Optionals:
Check the state of the 2x hardy discs and replace if needed
Check the state of the engine mounts and trans mount and replace if needed
Are you able to do the work yourself? If so, good
If not, then be prepared to dish out some money.

I do plan to work on the car myself, so I should be able to save some money.
the transmission fluid was replaced weeks before my purchase, is this something I should still inspect? It was done by a reputable service center in Florida
also, I can't find anything about hardy discs.
Sorry for all the questions, I just want to make sure I do this right!

Im a little nitpicky, so I would still do it. But in the end its up to you
You can also just drain the gearbox oil and look at it. If its very clear, just pour it back in. If not, replace it (and the filter).
