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?

Should be just an oil change (5W-40). That's all I had done. There are some complimentary checks. They inadvertently disconnected one of my engine air intake ducts during said checks, so keep an eye out for that.

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

I actually can't find anything concrete on the service intervals for the 2019. I just passed 10k miles (almost 11k) and no service indicator. I read all MB's have 15k service intervals now but can't find anything in the manual about when or what is going to be done.

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