Interesting

My car just hit 60k and I went to the service advisor at Benz to talk to him since I never get my services done at MB, he said by 60k the differential fluid needs to be changed for the rear wheels

Got mine done at an indy shop in Toronto. Did it while I also did trans fluid, pan and filter. 700 bucks for all of it using oem parts and fluid. Got it done early tho around 50K (KMS)
