You can service the trans..has to be filled thru the drain plug, again make sure to use ONLY MB fluid...PART NUMBER 000-989-68-03-10.

Keep receipts.
I'm in the same camp as the OP I would like to service my '06 E3504matic while is in warranty myself. It also has a 2 year extended warranty. I have serviced all my cars forever and bought an oil extractor specificaly for this car. Assuming that I know what I am doing when I perform the services, and I perform them consistant with the maintanance schedule, how do I defend myself down the road in the event of a failure against Mercedes saying it wasn't properly maintained?
