20K service for my '09 C63, Air filter question and include Break fluid change?
The dealership recommends to change the break fluids at 20K mls which is included in the $540.00 . Also of course includes oil, -filter , cabin filter but no mention of air-filter change. An indy shop recommends changing air filter but claims the break fluid change is not needed yet.
Any thoughts on this?
If it is necessary to change air filters I am considering the AFE pro dry S filters as I recall some recommended . Where can I get these? Cost?
Thanks!

why change?
brake fluid change seems too quick--but i would ask if they see something in the fluid(color/cloudy) that makes them want to do it--i would also make absolutely sure that they are flushed and bled properly--in other words -you have good brakes and pedal feel when done---do not ask me how i know this

I bought the Pro Dry S filters direct through AFE at http://afepower.com/shop/details_new...3L&&brandID=59.
Be sure to choose Pro Dry S in the dropdown though.
I've been using them and I can "feel" the car breathe better. I also remove the charcoal filters.

Brake fluid is recommended to be changed every 2 years and your car is likely past due and with 20000 miles I would get it done.
