Glad you're enjoying the videos. Got some more on the way.

Hey Jonathan, I will be making one for the front as well. Stay tuned.

I use Fast Orange to clean my hands.

You're Welcome!

Gear oil change is very simple

Yep. For all 3 it's 385. Brushing up on G550 details to DIY. Any word on where I can get OEM oil?

Most are 50 nm. But ask mb as to the quantity or purchase the WIS for your vehicle to get exact specs.

FUCKS OIL gives you a maintenance plan for all vehicles. You just put the Manufacturer, model, year etc... And they give you all the plan for your gear box breaks diferencial etc... Cheers from Portugal! ✌️🇵🇹🇲🇿😎

75 w90 is a superior diff oil than MB spec ... 75w85 from MB is for a better fuel economy. Go with 75w90 from Mobil or any other well known brands..Motul, Amsoil, etc.

Hey if you watch Keith's last video he posted he was in a hospital bed with covid he hasn't uploaded since then, my friend Jun Huang if you give me your vehicles year model and engine size I can locate you the two plugs you need for your maintenance

@@conormcgregor5460 Conor McGregor: Thanks, you are so nice person.It is W164,2011,RWD.And hope our Maybeyou would be healthy soon. thanks again

No. Not necessary to remove any other parts.

that orange clean is golden... I'm not sure what sound you're hearing it could be a wheel bearing or two... You could (kinda risky) put the car in neutral at that speed and see if the noise goes away. If you do put it into neutral- bring the vehicle to a complete stop before you put it back into gear.

Could be your universal joint if you observe your drive shaft from transmission to rear differential grab it and try to turn it clockwise and counterclockwise. It won't turn unless the vehicle is in neutral but if you feel that it moves centimeters in either direction that could be the problem. A bad universal joint can make a whining scratching sound consecutively in drive or reverse at certain speed. And also if it clunks and the vehicle buckles when you engage it from reverse to drive and into park sometimes too it could be that transfer shafts universal joint worn out and needing replaced. They tend to wear as they take on different levels of torque and stress or heavy loads.

+Alin Marinescu the vehicle has over 200k miles with the oil being never being changed The new oil has the color of honey, while the old oil has the color of coffee.

80,000

Drain plug is all that is needed

This is on the W164. Very similar on the others.

you save money if you use the old plugs , thats all that happens

@@robphillips8428 that's basically what I was thinking. LOL

2006 ml 350

You can also do it! The right tools, patience, and a solid review of knowledge needed is all it takes! Indeed, knowing ones limits & comfort zones is important when working on large, expensive, (sometimes) dangerous machines but the info is out there. You can do it!

+TheTechGulp believe it or not, I did not raise it. I just crawled under. Close fit but I'm small enough to get under there. I never feel totally safe when the vehicle is jacked up or on stands.

Thanks. i hear you.

@@iRepairAutos hello j have 09 gl 320 bluetec. I am about to order the Mercedes differential oil and the seen you 2 liters. Is that 2 in the front and 2 in the back? Total of 4?

what are they?

There is a drain plug but no fill plug. It's done by removing the right CV joint and putting it in where the shaft inserts into gear box

@@vadneysean72 thank you. If you ever create a video on it, consider tagging me please.

@@tlawrenceware3509 I already did it but it's not hard. What year? Is it W204?

@@vadneysean72 It's 2011.

Do I need to use Mercedez gear oil ?

Did you have any issues reusing the old diff plugs? I can't seem to find part numbers for my 09' e350. On my truck I've ALWAYS reused the stock plugs with zero issues. But was wondering for the mb...

@@NewShockerGuy you dont have the ability to think for yourself? If you current bolt/plus work then why would you need new ones? Geez

@@robphillips8428 of course I can think for myself but a lot of times manufacturers state specific specs on certain things. Mercedes actually recommends replacing the plugs in their shop manual..

@@NewShockerGuy actually you aent thinking for yourself if you rely on a shop manual to tell you if a plug is working. Mercedes sells these for arond 10.00 and they likley cost .25 to manufacture. So sure replace them.

Can yu send me the link to order the screw plug

Thank You !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not sure if you were asking me but they usually aren't found online. You have to go to the dealer to pick them up. They are $8 for ONE single piece. Give them that part number and ask if they have it in their inventory, 50/50 chance they would as people don't change them occasionally.

+Yuvi Chauhan Mercedes recommends new plugs. Probably could get away with old ones. But Mercedes doesn't chance it. For the small price you should change it out.

iRepair Autos thank you for the info

@@iRepairAutos sure mercedes likes selling a .25 part for 10.00 and you fell for it

I disagree. This is the oil sold by and used by Mercedes for the vin number on this vehicle.

@@iRepairAutos 10W-30 seems far off. Best of luck

@@brock7147 a

The video says MB approved 75W-85 gear oil. Mercedes has provided approvals for a number of brands of gear oil, and you can probably find a copy of their list of approved products on line. 10W-30 is usually motor oil, and is not the correct product for this application.

@@gkelly941 He just used an empty 10W-30 bottle to make it easier to fill, he didn't actually use 10W-30 oil. He mentions that in the video. I think G. Kelly understands this but Brock may not.
