Request Plz: Can someone check their 1200 mile service (DCT) invoice

Just got back from my 1200 mile service (DCT) and I'm not sure if they changed out my differential fluid. My invoice lists the parts: "Oil 10W60, Set Oil-Filter Element, Differential Oil" billed. Below it lists the description for the Engine Oil change ("Engine Oil, Top Off All Fluids, Change Oil and Filter"), however, there is no description or mention of the Differential Oil change. Can someone check their invoice to see if this is normal? Usually, they list the description of the jobs to detail the labor involved, correct?

The SA assured me the diff fluid was changed but I'm not sure...

Each dealer bills differently. If it's mentioned, like you posted, it was probably changed. No way to know if you didn't watch the tech do it, but I requested to see my car and talk to the tech before it was lowered, and he showed me the empty bottles he used. If you want to make sure, and your service was done recently, ask the tech directly; he should remember your car. Good luck.

Youre probably good. I think my receipt also listed the diff oil and other items but did not specifially state "diff oil" changed...they probably include that in the "oil" change remark. The fact that it is being billed for suggests it was replaced. Like elp jc said, unless you see them do it, (I did not) you dont know 100% but I doubt theyre running that kind of scam.

Thanks fellas. I guess I'm being paranoid with all of the horror stories I read on the forums.
