First Service A - what to look out for?
My '19 C43 is telling me that Service A is nearly due (12 mo., 8K mi.). I plan to have this done at my nearest dealership, where I've had other M-B's serviced, but I don't want to be a complete lay down for unnecessary work and expense. So far I haven't been able to find a description of what's included on this model and whether some of it's optional or can be deferred. Also, I suspect there may be some updates available but not performed unless I specifically ask about them.
So, what should a smart C43 owner expect from his first Service A? Thanks.
Edit: What about rear diff oil at 2,000 mi.on the C43, and isn't there a front diff. too? Is one limited-slip and the other not?

They won't touch the diff. No need. There's no mechanical LSD.

Same. This thread prompted me to email my dealer to request a service/maintenance schedule. Hoping to hear back today.
