2013 E350 major service
Hello everyone, I’m having major service done on my 2013 E350 sedan (69K) by my local Mercedes dealer. I asked my service manager if it includes changing the transmission fluid and he replied “that comes later”, can anyone tell me what this service should include? I thought all fluids should be replaced? The dealer estimate cost for their service is $1,600

I believe my 2016 E350 calls for fluid change at 60K, and I did that myself. I would have them change the tran fluid if it has never been changed. I hope their charge for the fluid change isn't the $1600 in your message.

The dealer is the only one with an answer. In my opinion, a service worth $1,600 should cover a lot. Did you get an itemized work order?
Here's the basic information about services: Services to Keep You Going
Here's a nice write up about your transmission, including the service interval (70k miles): Mercedes-Benz 7-Speed Transmission (722.9) Service Walkthrough

Sunny I share your view mate, transmission service is cheap compared to transmission failure.

Service is mileage-based or every-two-year based. Regular service is a nothing burger from a time+effort point of view, so if you are out of warranty, DIY or indy shop is recommended.
Mileage:
10k miles: engine oil and filter
50k miles: engine air filter and spark plugs
60k miles: transmission fluid replacement
150k miles: coolant replacement and fuel filter replacement (not 100% sure on the fuel filter)
Every-two-years:
Cabin filter(s) and brake fluid replacement
When needed:
Brake pads and and rotors, tires
Main battery and auxiliary battery or voltage converter
When/if desired (I recommend all of the below):
Axle(s) fluid replacement
Poly-v belt replacement
Belt tensioner and pulleys replacement
Ignition coils replacement
If needed:
Cam magnets
Cam position sensors
O2 sensors

Read on a service booklet that transmission oil should be changed every 50k km, the dealership used to do this service on my w212 every 60k km.
Now I service it every 50k km.

Good lord thats steep. Where in Northern CA are you?
I recommend this shop, they can cut that price in half and the service is better than my personal MB dealer. My local dealer has a cute girl in parts though.

My local dealer will pretty much fib to get out of doing trans service, they do not like doing it, do not follow the official MB bulletin for changing ALL of the fluid either, unless you confront them about it.
