Thanks. Great info especially since I'm getting a Courtesy delivery to a dealer I've never even been to at our Winter location.

It should end up in your folder of completed paperwork from the dealership.

In my experience, I had to ask. Just like the Order Workbench, some dealers will give you a copy while some will say that is not allowed.

I didn't read everyword of the form, but I didn't see anything about checking all fluid levels. There have been cases that transmission fluid was low and other levels also.

Checking and fill as required engine fluid levels is listed in the underhood section.

Additionally, there is a TSB with dealer service departments to check eLSD fluid level.

First page, first column, last item (under "under hood" section).

I'm assuming the same things are done if you request a Museum Delivery (?) Somebody mentioned that they will also mount your splash guards, but that you have to order them yourself and then ship them to the Museum. Why can't I just order them when I order the vehicle?

for whatever reason they are dealer installed options, not factory installed options.
you can pay the $25 at the museum and they will do the install as
part of the PDI if you ship them there first.

I'll have to check my paper pile from delivery. I don't remember seeing that one. It is pretty extensive.

If you are referring to the PDI, unless you specifically asked for it you did not get it. And it is extensive AND I have been told the dealer is paid to do it and the form needs to be in the jacket in case the deal us audited.

$150 a few years ago, do not know if changed in recent years.
