Invoice Breakdown - 1200 mile Running-in Service

I'm just curious to know what others are seeing on their invoice for the 1200 mile running-in service. Mine just says RUN IN CHECK + OIL CHANGE, and nothing else.

Invoice: https://opensource.egnyte.com/dl/uPU3MjNS2e

According to the manual, the following services should be performed at 1200 miles:

1. Engine oil and filter change
2. Rear differential oil change
3. Bleed intercooler reservoir
4. Deactivate running-in check using diagnostic tool path

Should I be concerned about items #2 and #3 not being done at all?

1,200 mile service is an oil change including Diff and enabling of launch control nothing more. Wouldn't worry about it.

If you PM the last 7 of your VIN I will look into the parts bill out to see if they were done. #3 is not even a minor concern, but #2 would be a major issue.

Edit: Sorry, missed that you posted the invoice. The SAF-XJ and both diff plugs were billed out and the service was definitely done. Warranty codes them under the same labor op, so the notes can just dictate "oil change" since that's what it is (although confusing because it's actually 2 oil changes).
