Pay the extra to have it done. The fluid lists in the $14.00 per liter range, takes 7 to 8 to service it. While MBZ maintains the stance of "lifetime" fluid in the 722.6 tranny they never define the "life" of the tranny.
It's also running a felt type filter which will slowly restrict with clutch material. I have been and will continue to recomend 60K service intervals for the .6.
I'm not suprised to hear that the price is the same, just ask then the cost per guart of dex3 and the cost per liter of the .6 fluid and offer to pay the difference in fluid costs alone. Most services are menu based and therefore dont change much price wise regardless off what is done. (or not done)
