My dealer quoted $400.
Doesn't make sense.

I realize some folks like to deal exclusively with MB dealers, which is cool. However, this type of service is perfect for a reputable indy to handle; easy stuff.

Or you could just do it yourself - took me about 45 mins total. Pretty straight forward, although can be a bit messy with the gear oil. Just fill it up till it starts dripping from the filler hole and button it up.

2 x https://www.summitracing.com/nv/parts/csx-06674

1 x https://www.summitracing.com/nv/parts/wmr-w1156

Tools Needed: Jack & Jack Stands (or Ramps), oil catch pan & a 19mm box wrench. And the hand pump above for filling if you don't have one.

That leaves $100+ for beer, and the gratification of wrenching on your own car.

$160 at Silverstar Queens.... it is mandatory at the first 2500 miles... no ifs ands or buts...then whatever interval is stated in the manual.
i suspect that a fair amount of “break in” happens inside of it.
