i just finished the job! it was easy enough once i got the original plugs off.. they were on SO good that i heard a loud "CRACK!" once they came loose. i actually half stripped the drain plug trying to pry it off but miracles DO happen. instead of pumping the new oil in, i just squirted it in directly from the bottle. you know, only about a full ounce of old fluid came out and about one and a half ounces went in.. old fluid reeked like everyone mentions and i recommend new plugs for anyone whose car is over 10 years old or comes from the north like mine. thanks for your video.. i see you're in the austin area as well! maybe we'll run into each other in our GLK's one day! take care!!
Congrats and well done! The fluid smells terrible indeed. Happy you got it completed. I’m in Blackhawk area if you’re familiar with that party of town.
@@512TXSDIY some people here measure the temperature before adding the fluid with a car scanner. do you know why?
@@jn3750 Fluids expand when they are hot. I just fill it in and stop when it over flows. Don’t overthink it. Please like the video and consider subscribing.

do you know where the fill/drain hole is on the front differential in the 2010 4matic?
Mine is only rear wheel drive. 4matic should be along the axles. Follow the front axles and you should be able to locate it.
Did my 2012 today at 76k miles. Looked and smelled New. Thanks I used a air gun to get things loose then a breaker bar on the bottom plug most rusted Thanks. I think this is more of a 120k mile job. Let me know what you think.
I think as long as it gets done you’re good to go. Probably every 20,000 miles or so since it’s so easy to do. Totally my opinion though. I change my engine oil every 6 mo or 5,000 miles which some might say is too early as well.
also, mercedes calls for 75w85. i see you using a 75w90. i was thinking about using the same 75w90 but with royal purple for the back diff.. what you think?
That should be fine. Go for it! Personally, I don’t like Royal Purple but it’s really just preference. There is not right or wrong answer.
Do I need Teflon tape for those plugs to back in? I've see some post around the internet and lots of people suggested Teflon tape or GM sealant tape.
Thank you for sharing this video ☺️☺️
Hey MD. Personally, I did not use tape. It fastens in pretty tight with no leaks. I think tape is overdoing it in my opinion.
What do you think? Don’t forget to like the video and consider subscribing as I have lots of GLK content.
Thank you for a quick reply. I have done mine by watching your video. It's easy just had lil hard time to break those bolts. I didn't use tape either and watched for couple days there was no leaks and hoping won't get no leaks in the future. I have used amsoil severe gear oil 75w-90(gf5), it's not really Mercedes approved oil but Mercedes dealer's mechanic told me any decent GF5 gear lube would be fine. 👍
@@mdashiqurrahman39 Thank you for watching. Amsoil is “the best” to me if you want to spend the money for it ;-)
I enjoy doing DiY type work in my off days. I have couple other vehicles including 2015 glk350 and I changed all kinds of lubes and filters in my vehicles including ATF fluids. My rear differential, transfer case (not all vehicles share ATF in transfer case), automatic transmission, engine oil everything Amsoil signature series. I had used almost all types and brands engine oil before switched to amsoil and got stuck in amsoil. My personal opinion amsoil worth it
@MD Ashiqur Rahman Cool to hear you work on your own car! Good oil choice and nothing bad to say about it really. We all have preferences.
Do you know when to change the GLK transfer case oil? Is the transfer case oil together with transmission oil?
I change mine out every 5 years or 40,000 miles. Up to you though…
Where do I buy Gear oil Pump that fits w/o dripping like yours?
I bought 75W90 Fully Synthetic Hypoid Gear Oil (1 Liter)... should be good right?
Yes, you should be good. You can find any gear oil pump on Amazon. It’s about $20
What should you do if the front diff is leaking oil?
Depends on where it is leaking from. Have you checked to see if the rubber washer has been replaced?
The new valvoline 75w90 gear oil is in a squeaze bottle which is nice to not have to pump.
Great! Please like and subscribe to the channel.
I wonder why the service manual of my 2013 GLK 250 BlueTec doesn't require to change rear diff oil, my car is now 186000km and never changed the rear diff oil. I don't know if I need to have the rear diff oil replaced.
Your choice but I would change it. Most people keep it in for 3 to 5 years before changing it again. I personally don’t believe in “Life” fluids but your call. Please like the video and consider subscribing
@@512TXSDIY Eventually I had my GLK250 rear diff oil changed in a local shop today at 193500km, the old oil still looks clear in brown color. I put into Mobil 1 75w90 gear oil which is slightly different to the MB 75w85 oil. I can feel the car running a little bit smoother on the road. Thanks for your video...
@@josephzhang195 That’s great. It is a overlooked maintenance for sure.
how many litres does it needs?
I’ll have to rewatch this video to be sure. It’s been a while, sorry.
Why did you have to change it? What was the car doing wrong?
General maintenance
And Front differential?
I don’t have a video right for it because mine is RWD only, not the 4matic. It is the same process though.
Is this a 4-Matic?
No, this is the Base model which is rear wheel drive only. The process should be the same/similar though. The only difference is a 4 matic is that you have front differential too.
