New C63 diff oil change

[HB]

Morning guys.

Unfortunately the E63 has gone ... but, a C63 has taken it's place.

Does any one have the definitive answer as to the latest C63 requiring a diff oil change at 1000 miles ? The dealer in Wakefield had no idea - yes believe me , no idea at all.

Not sure re the exact miles but yes it needs changing.

At a Thousand miles !!?

The older W204 C63 required the diff oil changed at 1050 miles according to Post #9 in the thread below. No idea on a W205, but I'd assume the same interval.

No idea either, but just to say congrats on the C63.

Exactly what we thought. TBH a lot of sales guys from their own admission just don't have enough knowledge across all products and ,I know this is a service issue but believe it or not , they don't know either.

Thanks Mark. A totally different animal to the E( which I prefer )but, my brother prefers this because it feels much more alive.
Let me wash it and I'll put some photos on.

It does appear that most dealers don't have clue

Hi. You should receive a letter from MB soon, asking you to visit your local dealer after 2K miles for a complimentary diff oil change.

Mine arrived approximately 4 weeks after delivery, followed by the complimentary AMG Basic training offer.

Can someone clarify what this is all about please ?

The diff oil gets replaced at 20 or 2000 miles ...or whatever it is.

Then is THAT IT for X many thousands of miles thereafter ?

Just like some engines use(d) 'break in oil' back in the day, which was then drained and replaced with 'normal' oil. ?

Hi Pete.

We are talking about the W/S/C 205 AMG models.
Diff oil requires changing after the first 2000 miles.

Hi Pete. It's every 3 years or 50,000km/30,000mls.

Thanks for clearing that up for me
