I got mine today, Tully in Nashua, New Hampshire has HUGE car inventory and an equally well stocked parts department.
My appointment for the 1200 mile service is this Friday. They told me at my local dealership that they have the G2, the oil filter and the proper oil. If not I will never go back there again. And they are going to redo my inspection sticker. Mike

I'll hit 1200 miles in 5-10 days, depending how much I drive this weekend. Just called my dealer and they are checking to see if they have it, and if not, how soon they can get it.

Finally in for Run In Service.
They are checking status on my ECU program version and doing that update also. My least favorite thing to do. Dropping off car for service. Mike

All done. They had the diff oil in stock!
They only used 2 quarts G4 and 1 quart G2? And the oil is 0W30. So I have 4 quarts G4 Diff Oil for sale! Assuming UPS can ship bottles of oil?? Mike

Some have posted 4 G4 and 2 G2, they only used 2 for G4 and 1 for G2 on my car. Always fun to see such differences. "The Diff is Half Full or Half Empty."

I still have about 400 miles before first service, but I drove through the service department a couple days ago so my SA could log in my new car and make sure they had everything in place when I hit 1200. He checked with the parts dept while I was there and I'm all set. (I service at a different location than my purchase). My SA even said he'll reserve all the oils, etc to ensure everything's there for my appointment in a few weeks.
