I understand that is one of the secondary service done at the oil change.
$ 500 is outta sight, even at MB lofty levels. Youwsa, have I been living in the past....

The sedans DON'T have the urea tank.
Having said that, there seems now to be an unwritten rule that $500 is the minimum one pays to get out of the service department these days.
On our C300, the dealer wanted $349 for the A service which consists of little more than an oil change (yes, they "inspect" a bunch of stuff but with 12K miles there isn't much to find). I bought all of the supplies at the parts counter for $70 and did the work myself in about an hour.
They can justify these prices because now cars only need "routine" maintenance every year. In the past they could hit you 2-3 times a year but today it is unusual that anyone would require more than one service per year so they seem to take the "charge for three, provide one" approach.
