Hi All

I am wondering when will be the first maintainace for this car?
My salesperson told me to go back for 1000km differential fluid change.
Please give me an idea when will be my first service.

Service Manual States 10,000 Miles for the 1st sched Oil Change

From your steering wheel menu, if you go to Service it should be able to tell you when you're due for service.

How many of you guys had your engine oil change before the 10,000 miles service.

ajag

AMGs get a complimentary 1000mile service, check with your dealer to verify first though.

gsrjc

Only changed the oil at 1000 mile service. Plan to take the car in soon for the 1 year service as that came up first then the mileage.

bushburninc63

was it complimentary as stated by ajag?

663

It suppose to go back 3000km for (LSD) differential fluid change,this is only for those C63 with LSD option, and next was 15000km for oil change!!

gsrjc

I requested that the dealership do an oil change for me. Oil change is not complimentary.

bushburninc63

any reason why the premature oil change?

gsrjc

Just wanted to get rid of any junk from the engine that might develop during that time.

bushburninc63

I see, and what is the reasoning behind the 10,000 miles? i heard of 3k and 5k, but 10k seems a bit long for an oil to be sitting in the engine.

Jae Duk

Complimentary only if you have the performance package....I took mine in at 2K to get an oil change that's it. Service manual says 10K after that... :/

drawde

there's no way to check tire pressure through the IC or onboard computer right? Just wanted to make sure I was doing it manually for a reason.

gsrjc

Just did service A - $325.00

Jae Duk

It'll only pop up to tell you "Check tire pressure" if your tire pressure is a little bit low...that's all

drawde

I know Service A is 10000 miles, but how far after that is Service C, D, E? 10000 miles apart as well?

JM

I did an oilfilter / oil change my self at 3000km because i was going to track

also its not free for service A even if i have PP

tyanger

You can't check the actual numeric value from the dash. You have to set the pressure the way you want it in all 4 tires manually, then you reset the Tire Pressure Monitor. Then it'll tell you when your pressure is off from your last reset/preset - although I'm not sure what the parameters are (percentage off or actual # psi off).

I just got my C63 yesterday and the y told me that is very important to take it for the differential fluid change at 2000 miles.

Anyone that waits 10k miles to change oil in a 6.3l 450HP V8 engine has defiantly been played good by MB. Do an oil analysis at 10k miles and youll see what im talking about.

My moms 3l V6 engine in her ML ate up a rod bearing, punched the rod through the crankcase and completely destroyed the engine at 80k miles. Why? Because she fallowed the MB service schedule religiously...causing oil to gunk up and starving the rod bearings of lubrication.

I dont care what MB says, there is no synthetic "high milage" oil out there that can last 10k miles, and defiantly not in a 6 liter V8 engine.

Do your engines some good and change the oil every 5k miles. I dont know what MB is trying to pull with these service intervals, but I find it highly strange that a lot of MB engines are giving out RIGHT after their warrenty has expired. Seems like MB has timed everything just right with those intervals.

+1 I would go one step further and do an oil change right after break in, with an oil analysis. Then change again at 2500, and another oil analysis. Depending on the results/trend, you could then work your way up to 5,000 miles, but definitely not more than that.

..or one year if you don't hit the mileage. My car is telling me to come in for service in "ten days".

eagle_lex

my service guy tried to tell me that ALL AMGs get the diff flushed at 1k. i read the owners manual and of course like posted above that is only for the Perf Pkg with the limited slip. i dont have the limited slip. i will probably change my oil around 5k, just to be safe. might do it at 1k who knows.
