9G transmission service kit question
I was shopping for all the parts needed to do the oil change on the facelift 9-speed transmissions on the c63s and had some questions. The kit that Fcpeuro sells(link 1) is supposedly the full kit and costs $476. However, if I buy all the parts separately and grab two of the 5L version of the oil(link 2) it costs $352. The second option shouldn't be an issue but I just wanted to make sure in case something is different. Lastly, there is also an alternative liquid moly fluid(link 3) that is substantially cheaper and also meets the Mercedes rating. Has anyone run this fluid? I don't mind paying for the Mercedes OEM but if the liqui moly is actually better and others have used it I would purchase that. Thanks!

The 5 liter jugs for some reason are cheaper to get than the 10 individual quarts of fluid. When I did my service I did something similar and bought all the parts separate from their kit and saved about $90. I bought 8 individual bottles of fluid and that was sufficient with 1 bottle left over. Go with the second option, Save the $100.

Seems like it should be required earlier?

Just wondering how many miles you have on your facelift? I have a 2019 C63s with 30,000 miles and am scheduled for the 5 year/50,000 miles Service next month. This Service includes the spark plug change. But according to the MB Service maintenance sheet the first required complete transmission service is done at 6 years/ 60 000 miles. (Expensive).

I appreciate the response, this is what I decided to do. Ordered all the parts but I was told by a few people only 6 Quarts are necessary. I bought 7 to be safe but we shall see how it goes.

I have 25k miles at the moment but I am doing it early as I do all my services pretty early. I believe 63 AMG cars are at 30k miles and the other 9g cars are at 60k miles. A friend of mine who is a tech at Mercedes has also told me the interval is at 30k so might as well do it early.
