Thanks for this great vid !

Hi ABAuto！Nice to see the full record of your first service and nice pocket rocket you have！But I am confusing about if new 45 engines should drink 0w40，since I have read that it should be 0w20

i really enjoyed this video, thank you! And could you please make another one about changing rear diff oil? i learned there are three parts in rear differential(gear box in the middle and side coupling in both side) and its really hard to find proper oil for them in my country.

schönes Video, die Werkstatt füllt entspannt das falsche für den 45 S nicht zugelassene Motorenöl ein, zugelassen ist nur 229.71 die füllen 229.5.......ein. Top Werkstatt

this is the wrong oil for this car. In Germany, the 229.71 (0w-20) oil comes in the 45S.

Great video as always! Very informative! Too bad we can't trust all dealers to take the same care and diligence. We know they change the oil and top up the fluids, but who knows if they check the rest so carefully 🤷‍♂️.

Greeting from Australia. Great vid. The car looks sick man. I have the GLA45s for 5 months now. Really enjoy every minute driving. Really looking forward to the first service, sometimes I think 12-month (or 20,000km) is too long. Happy to keep an eye on your next vids to learn your experience with your CLA. Nice car… Cheers. Lam.

Great video! I'd recommend Amsoil and Motul over the AMG oil. 100% synthetic is way better than "full" synthetics.

I think a lot of this is overkill my Mazda 6 2020 service oil change, includes checking all fluids, wipers and tires for $60.00. In the U.S. they charge $1200.00 for the C-Class service A

Excellent content!!!!!!! I love it. Btw, their oil can do 20 000km, I was like what? when I purchased my car :) You can't imagine how much I like to enter a Mercedes garage to see how they are working... Imagine walking in the factory that would make a great video too :)

Sure why not? With the volume of cars they take in it makes sense to have 2 people to work together. It means that they can get through the cars quicker but more importantly you can have a more senior tech constantly working with and training a younger less experienced one. This seems like smart business to me. Never underestimate the importance of pairing people together to train and develop staff.

Hey Hakan, to be honest we didn’t really stage much here. We just did a bit of minor planning for safety etc and I had a few small shots I wanted to get other than that i just told the guys to carry out the service and chased them both with my camera to get as much footage possible. I was a sweaty mess after! 🥵I asked Mark to say what he was doing as he did it so so had a great reference to write the voiceover to.

Let me give you some advise guys who ever wants to buy this car just like you change engine oil the transmission oil and filter plus differential oil needs changing every 30000miles. My friend has owned one of these from new and never changed the transmission oil and filter plus differential oil . The car did not shift smoothly after 60000 miles then decided to change it with the Merc dealership. After changing the transmission oil there were metal shavings in the gearbox oil. the car gear shifts were very smooth after changing the oil . So guys please please do not buy a car where the transmission oil and filter plus differential oil has not been changed. there are nasty people out there who buy these lovely cars and do not look after them and this is exactly why they break. the M133 and M139 is a bullet proof 4 cylinder engine which has very good fuel economy if you look after it, it will last forever till you die.

You cars having nothing special done here !! Everything they do on this video is the same as any independent MB specialist or independent garage would do but at a fraction of the cost. Im not sure how the AMG oil differs from fully synthetic oil but oil costs aside I'd expect to pay £150 - £200 for that A service. I bet if you were paying for that it would be nearer £350 - £400 at the MB main dealer. My option would be to use a good MB specialist, Usually they get to know you and your car everytime its in.
