Welcome to AMG ownership. If your cars is a C&C car, you don't really have a choice.

Check if they have quoted you correctly, your car won't need a LSD oil change and won't use as much oil as the V8.

Its oil in rear axle.... Was told to change at 3000km but US CLA forum is claiming 15000km.

 

Advisable to do engine oil change after "run-in" or 15000km as per manual?

I don't know about your car but my manual states an engine oil change immediately after run in so I did it.

The rear differential oil change after run in is only mandatory for cars with LSD, so it depends.

Always insist on following the manual.

My car didn't have a LSD but they changed the oil anyway and charged me for it so I was not happy and did make my point clear to them.

Probably yours is the first one to be serviced. So extra cautious hence take longer time to complete the job.

ok just finished the rear axle oil change in 2hrs...... claimed its required after 3000km and $160+ so heck it.... Oil servicing though is quoted at 600+ though for 4.5L engine oil

 

Weird thing is no invoice.... Will post me instead after deducting from my service credit.... Is this normal?

That's weird. There should be a form to sign for the job to be done and u need to approve if charges are above $3k plus.

I did my first servicing 2 weeks ago, they changed the engine and rear axle oil. Sent in at 9am and collected it by 12pm, without washing the car as they are going for lunch and I did not want to wait longer.

 

They deducted $600+ from my service credit. No invoice given but need to sign a job sheet. I have received the invoice by mail one week later.

how much did they charge for the engine oil change?

 

I know the rear axle oil change is about 160.... Just to be sure.....

 

Still puzzled about the no invoice part.

My Service A for my W205 c class at cnc was $505 after gst...was charged $30 more for request to use mobil 1 oil instead of shell helix..used 7 litres...forgot to ask them to not add the windshield solvent..could have saved $9. However lucky i check my repair sheet n bill..found 2 items supposedly under warranty but charged $29 which was to oil and adjust my bonnet coil spring due to alignment issue and got them to waive it..
