With no service manuals that I can find dealing with the 2008 C300, I am wondering what pitfalls Mercedes may have designed into this car for someone who wants to change the original coolant, brake fluid and trans fluid. The dealer says they have to do it or the car will melt down into a puddle of goo, or similar tragedy. Any advice? I'd hate to get into the brake fluid change, for example, and find some sort of dealer-specific equipment is required to bleed the system.
