W210 e320 cdi diff oil change

[Tinytots]

Hi all,

I'm about to change the diff oil in my car, does anyone know for sure what oil goes into it?

EP 80w90 GL5 spec is what Carlube recomend. XEY011

So do Morris lubricants XEP 80W90

Cap 0.7 - 1.6 ltrs

Cool, cheers mate.

The capacity should be 1.1 litres.

Is there a flush available?

Not heard of any flush tbh, why do you need to flush it? if you want to id suggest putting fresh oil in and run it about for a short time then change it again. if its noisy it may also be worth while putting a additive in, like molyslip for instance.

Why would you need to flush the diff?

 

[Tinytots]

No reason, just wanted to get all of the old oil out

My diff's as quiet as a mouse
