I guess what I am saying is that it would be to your advantage to document that the car went through the required break-in service at the required service interval for warranty purposes.
I agree that it should be done on time for warranty purposes.

This service is not that cheap in Germany. Mine was ín the ballpark of € 600 what's about $ 770 at the moment. As you say they change engine oil and filter, diff fluids and (maybe) transmission oil.


Best regards, south
