Diff fluid change in 2000km break-in service???

Does anyone here can confirm that diff fluid change is a MUST DO in 2000km break-in service??
I'm in Vietnam and my dealer even doesn't know that there is a break-in service )
Nobody mention that I have to bring my car in service at 2000km.
And when I bring it in they are all surprised and advise me not to change engine oil too soon
I insist to do it and then they told me there is no filter for my car in stock and I have to wait 15 days to order.
I think it's better not to ask them about diff fluid =))
So.. you guys please help this fellow M2 owner who live in "jungle" )
If yes.. what is the part number of the M2 diff fluid... is it possible to buy it not through dealer and can I change my diff oil myself??

Thanks

Thanks shemeld_135

I have researched that the diff oil change process is quite simple. I can have some workshop here to do that.
The only problem is where can I get it.. do you know any online store in the US that sell it?

I'm a little confuse now. The link you provided is not the same oil. Or at least not the same part number/packaging. The 583 I can find alot online store sell it but the 988 I can't find any.

Rear Diff fluid

New to the car and still trying to research optimal fluid replacements. Cant recall where but I have heard the Castrol Syntrax 75/140 is the optimal gear lube for the rear diff and it takes about 1L?

Any insight or opinions?
