I think the OP meant to refer to the rear diff oil. In prior AMG's that Ive owned there was a sticker in the driver's top left part of the windshield reminding the owner to change the LSD oil at 2k (if equipped with such a differential). On the AMG GTS that is not a necessary process.

I think you are correct. I believe all my Black Series' had a recommended 1000 mile rear dif service. I recall there being a big uproar over the drain bolts(or some bolt) on the CLK BS needing to be replaced during that service because it's not reusable and there were none of them in the US and people cars were down for weeks waiting for parts from Germany. I think mine was down for about 10 days. Back on topic, I do not think that it is a required or recommended service at such an early interval in the GT-S.
