So, here i go, coming from a BMW M, but just couldn't resist on how the SLS looks, sounds.

so if everything goes smoothly i will purchase an alu-beam 2011 SLS AMG, with only 1000km on it.

i would like to know does the running in period that ends in 1500km require an oil change? and also what oil needed to be changed?

i'am new to mercedes, are there any advice on things i should check and look for?

thank you very much,

sound so lonely, but...
BUMP

Since there are no responses from other SLS owners, if it were me, i would change the engine oil and maybe the tranny fluid w/ filter no matter what the recommended service interval was after the break-in period.

thank you very much, i'm actually pretty surprised seing the AMG's break-in rules
under 140 km/h under 4500rpm lol i bet someone has got to be real committed to stay under that :p

congrats man, I'd love to own one of these someday, and you're getting that 13K optional paint too eh?
Not many dudes can claim that one

looking forward to the pix

like i said, i havent got my hands on the car. but hopefully everything goes well finger crossed*

yes, the paint is astonishing, the other day i spot a silver SLS sorry to say but it makes the SLS looks so flat.

wow what a turn down, i think the car turns out to be imola grey.. wtf
havent got it yet, but starting to know more about this car.

The oil should have been changed already even with just 1000km on it simply based on age/time alone. I would never go three years without an oil change regardless of miles. If you are buying from dealer make them throw in an oil and trans fluid change, I would change both hose fluids on a three year old car regardless of miles.

are there any specific oil and trans fluid specs? please pardon me, since i had issues with stupid BMW dealers giving wrong oils and fluids,

thank you

Everything you will need will be in the owners manual. With oil just use the recommended oil and weight from the brand of your choice. With the trans fluid use only the MB trans fluid, we recently discovered that using other brands in high hp application and pushing the car hard causes slight slipping of the clutch packs.

i see i see, since dealer in my country are not consistently competent its just one of the ways for me avoiding the wrong use of oils and trans fluid.
thank you very much
