Running-in notes for SL 65 AMG and
AMG vehicles with a differential lock
Your vehicle is equipped with a self-locking
differential on the rear axle.
To better protect the differential gear on the
rear axle, you should perform an oil change
after a running-in phase of 3,000 km. This oil
change will increase the service life of your
differential. Have the oil change performed at
a qualified specialist workshop. Mercedes-
Benz recommends that you use a Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre for this purpose.
