How often should the rear differential oil be changed on my car? 2002 w203 c180 done 87000miles
Is there a need to Change it? And which oil should be used
Hi Oilman,
Ive got 4 litres of TORCO SGO 75-140 synthetic gear oil is this ok to use in my ML270 diff? and does the transfer box take the same ATF as the autobox? i,e 236.14?
Hi Tim , I have just bought a 2006 E280 cdi Sport and as I didn't know when the last time the ATF was changed I got my local German car specialist to change transmission oil and filter . I'm not convinced they have done it right , can you tell me the correct procedure for the re-fill please , Ta .
If you're not worried about the approval, a Dexron III ATF is fine to use and the best options are the Red Line D4 or Fuchs ATF6000, although the others are fine as cheaper alternatives.
Only just read the 'Threadstarters' article, what a brilliant and informative article, well laid out and so easy to read. I didn't catch the the article when it was originally posted as it was before my time on this forum. It certainly aids the understanding of lubricants and highlights the naivety of using additives, not that I have ever considered it, even less so know. Excellent.
metallic looking flecks in fuches titan ATF 4134??
I was changing the fluid in my 722.6 today and whilst re-filling the gearbox, from a freshly opened 20ltr tub, I could see tiny metallic looking flecks in the atf going in. I noticed this right towards the end of filling the transmission.
Alarmed, I thought maybe the funnel had somehow got contamined despite meticulous cleaning.
I then opened the Fuches Titan again and tipped a little into the cap and rolled it back and forth in the light and there were the little flecks again...
Any ideas what this is or have I filled my transmission with a dodgy batch of fuches titan with swarf or sand in it?!
I've not used it myself, so can't be sure of what it looks like.
I'll need to contact Fuchs about this. Do you have the batch number (should be on the can), when you bought it (order number if possible) and a sample of the oil left over that they can test?
