With all the free time I have been having on weekends lately, I'm thinking that I will try and knock out my next service on the C43 myself (not to mention the nearest stealership is 100 miles away and not really an option on workdays with any convenience). Anyone have a basic shopping list of everything that is normally included? I think it is up for a B service (the lengthier of the two IIRC), so I guess that is what I would be doing. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

If it's the same as a CLK430, this is what the dealer does.

Don't know how many miles you are pushing but it is probably past due for a trans fluid and filter change.MB spec 722.6 fluid only.PM if you need the special dipstick.PM if you are doing plugs,I also have the special 17mm offset boot tool that makes plug changes a snap.
Change your rear diff fluid mobil 1 syn 75-90 wt.

Have fun

Yep, DEFINITELY time for the trans fluid change (just broke 100k miles recently). Thanks for the links, really appreciated!

Also, does anyone know the stock wheel lug nut size? Is it 18 mm?
