You are correct that MB updated to a one off change , but the Indys and those who want to avert future gearbox problems are all in the every 40k camp79k on an 08 c220 - mine has about 108k and decent service record, runs sweet as you like, no intention of changing it in what's left of my lifetime - I'm approaching 70! I'll take issue with Wighty about ATF change - our cars have the 5 speed autobox which is theoretically sealed for life, the 37.5k mile ATF change is for later cars (had a big row with the MB Ashford service manager on this point when I bought the car from them). However, I had mine done in Jan 2019 at approx. 100k miles - it had not been changed ever prior to that! Did not make a noticable difference to the box, but it's peace of mind.
