Great, but always remove the fill plug before draining. If you drain the oil and then find the fill plug won't come out you're instantly off road and may need a flat-bed to a shop.If you warm the new gear oil it will thin out slightly making it easier to pump.
f114163 Good catch .. I always make that same point in every diff. drain video I have done . Oddly the diff bolt removal clip is missing on this vid ? I must have missed it while editing . Amazing I never noticed that when posting .. thanks
@@fupabox Yup, the fill bolt removal clip must have been replaced with the drain bolt removal clip, which is played twice. Thank you anyway for your video. It has helped me.
I have done that before on an old rusted plug.Took the drain plug out only to find the fill plug rusted shut.O well , now it has to come out...time to walk to the store and get some pb blaster and pray
I am thinking of doing this on my c240 here soon because theres a whining/whirring noise that's been there for years that nobody can seem to figure out. Do you think this and a transmission flush would make it go away or would i be better off not wasting my money and just get another one in better shape?
Looking forward on doing this on my w210. Can you jack up car as heavy as that from the differential which would be somewhat easier or would you suggest doing it from the hitch? I'm afraid something will crack and then it's a mess.
+etu keno That is a loaded question..some people say no some say yes.. I use a hockey puck on my jack to keep from pushing the hard metal jack head against the differential.. I only leave the jack under the diff. long enough to get the jackstands under the jack pads to minimize the stress on the diff mount bushings
Any input on oil weight for 2005 C55 amg? Dealer gave me the same run around, stated 75w85, manual states 85w90, online suggests 75w90 or 75w140....? confusing to say the least. I was going to get Mobil 1 75w90 is this ok?
@@fupabox Thank you, I ended up going with mobil 1 75w90 which is GL-5 since mercedes dealer reccomended GL-5. All is well now job done! Thank you for your response!
+Kevin Berar Pinion seal usually.. if it isn't leaking much , just a wetness.. I would swap oil for a 75-110 synthetic, and hope it stops the leak.. pinion seal is a pretty big job
Ho I want to ask you? My car is 2012 C350 so I want to ask you how many Kms I need to change that oil and also if I change differential oil is it I also need to change front differential oil (transfer case) too ?.
i use sheel spirax 80w90 and then i try to change with sae 140. Nothing changes, Humming and vibration still there. If i still use my car any possibility to blown my diff?
always loosen fill holed first, because if that is stuck so are you

That pump is worth every penny, got one just like it
Absolutely.. no more 1/2 the bottle down your sleeve 😁

75 90 is fine . not sure if your spec is gl4 or gl 5 . but most now are compatible with both

What spanner size are you using?
Great video fupabox! I can see I've got a leak on my rear diff. First guess would be Pinion? Thanks!

hi there, i have a 2007 c280 4matic luxury, does my model have differential fluid?
Yeah it does
Is this the same differntial as the one in a 2013 challenger rt?
Ryan Vaal German car and American car.. how would that even be close to similar
These were manufactured by Chrysler in America.
Yes. The Challenger is on the LX chassis which is built by Benz. Mercedes once owned Chrysler
Ho I want to ask you? My car is 2012 C350 so I want to ask you how many Kms I need to change that oil and also if I change differential oil is it I also need to change front differential oil (transfer case) too ?.
around every 80 thousand kms, change the front and rear diffs, transfer case as well
fupabox thank you my C 350 was 62000km so is it time to change transmission fluid?
check your service manual.. I think trans fluid and filter is every 80k
fupabox ok thank you
Did the first 90 seconds repeat itself?
+The Stiver lol... how did that happen.
+fupabox I was so confused for a second... Like, "back in a sec while that drains" then it was perfectly clean I was like how did he do that? Haha
The Stiver I'm guessing I screwed up with the editing software :)
Nah, must be the second diff .......... 😂😂
It is common sense to remove the fill plug first
i have some problem. After i changed diff oil my diff start humming and vibration. where it from?
my car w210 btw
possibly some gunk came loose when you drained it .. what fluid did you use ?
i use sheel spirax 80w90 and then i try to change with sae 140. Nothing changes, Humming and vibration still there. If i still use my car any possibility to blown my diff?
No... it should be fine ..There is almost no possibility to damage a diff, by changing the fluid
Requires a friction modifier. Go to Mercedes
1:07 Are you sure its magnetic? Mine wanst, now is.
Actually I don't think that one was magnetic. The ones on my w202 , and r129 were
What head is that from the opening. Is a large one ,and I don't know the name and the number to buy it from a shop.
14mm alan headed (6 sided ) key or socket
Thank you very much!!!
