M157 W463 G63 owners (service question) (high mileage check in)

M157 G63 owners I am approaching 60k miles. Time to do some annual service. Plan on keeping this for a while.

also for fun who has the highest miles? M157 owners only please

1. Does the MCT require a full fluid service like the other MCT AMG cars? Dealer tells me no but makes no sense to me.

2. For the diff and TC what’s the fluid that’s recommended and the quantity?

3. How often are spark plugs required? What about coil packs?

Ever since I got the truck I get some oil burning smell and see on the engine cover drops of oil. Leaking valve cover?

I always found it interesting that this platform even basic service and modifications not many have a clue. Most must just take to the dealer and bend over I’m guessing.

It’s pretty much the same way for my Range Rover. I guess I’ll find everything out slowly and post what I learn so others in my boat in the future will benefit
