Mercedes 4Matic - Front Differential Fluid Change - W204/W205 (Easy Way)

[@CM-tc4ny]

Torque: Front axle drain screw 20NM for 204, 207, 212, & 218. Capacity: Hypiod gear oil .55 liters for all. Very useful video!

[@talkinboutbirds]

Great video, just picked up a 2014 glk 350 with 58k so was thinking of doing this as I already have a mityvac. Was actually surprised how good your old fluid looked.

[@Lefteris7]

Yea so was I. But cheap insurance for me to replace and go another bunch of years

[@billylamontagne2987]

Bruh you saved me so much money on doing this

[@kikillo2001]

Hola, yo tengo un c350 4matic de 2012 y tengo también diferencial delantero, yo lo he hecho desde arriba quitando el filtro del aire,por el tapon de arriba justo detras del alternador.

[@Lefteris7]

👌

[@Badboy17-]

i have s63 4matic w222 should i use limted slip oil for the front differntial ?

[@davidsherwood7075]

Does the fact that there's a breather hole at the top mean that there's no danger of overfilling? If so I think I'd want to estimate on the high side not knowing how much I will spill...despite my best efforts. Also, with my pump, it looks like there's about 75ml left in the pump after dispensing. So I guess I have to account for that.

BRO!!! THATS PERFECT FOR ME AND EVERYONE ELSE!!!👍😁👏🏻

[@jorgiemboricua]

Hello, could you please tell me what size is the washer for the drain plug? Thanks

[@Allam1408]

Link for the tank please

[@lukman8400]

Hi. Thanks for the video. You mentioned a washer on the plug. What is the washer is it? Is there a part number or link you could share. Thanks!

[@Lefteris7]

It's a copper crush washer to create a seal when you re tighten. I don't have the part number off hand. If you call the Mercedes dealer they will have it

[@bterry7493]

Wow. good. how can be took out the air while the oil in?

[@charliemccrady6987]

I thought the front diff on these cars shared the ATF with the transmission and transfer case.

[@Lefteris7]

No sir

[@NomenClature-o8s]

I can’t imagine a front differential being lubricated with ATF. They are totally different oils and different viscosities.

[@nixo_0649]

Hello my front differential has to come out and be checked to see what should be replaced.. do you maybe have some sort of manual for that?

[@scottp6761]

Do you know if the 2014 cls 550 4 matic is just a drain only? And doesnt share fluid with trans. Someone told me you dont need to. Fill from drain plug

[@scottp6761]

My question is. Unsure if its separate.

[@Lefteris7]

Not sure. Best bet is to take a look and confirm. It will be obvious if there is a fill plug. In the case of this car there isn't so you either fill like this or pop off the cv axle shaft and fill from there.

[@daviddavtyan463]

Does this procedure work on a GLK x204 ? Thanks

[@Lefteris7]

Yea it should

[@wasabijones4571]

if you change the front diff oil, do you have to change the back one too?

[@Lefteris7]

It's always good to do both, but not necessary

[@marvinmarcus5957]

Good job

[@jbdtrans2706]

Awesome thanks for the info it’s really helpful

[@trailblazer4609]

Hi, what gear oil did you use? Can I use Mobil 1 75w/90 synthetic from Advance Auto for my 2013 E350 4matic? Do you have other videos for transfer case as well?

[@AUDI_obsession]

u can use any gear oil in the older mercedes that mobil 1 is definitely more then exceptional

[@blackbearmssp968]

Is that adapter something I can buy?

[@Lefteris7]

It's for the Mercedes transmission fill. It's the same thread type

[@daviddavtyan463]

Hi, it’s the atf adapter 722.9 isn’t it ?

[@Lefteris7]

Correct

[@exploreyour4359]

Link to the fill tank?

[@tashowhaji1671]

Very clever! What type of fluid did you use?

[@Lefteris7]

Mercedes spec 75w85

[@exploreyour4359]

Many thanks

[@AUDI_obsession]

how many miles did you have? (never mind u said 72,000)

[@Lefteris7]

Yea, 72k. The fluid wasn't that bad but the car was recently purchased. Wanted a good baseline. These differentials don't see much abuse, but the fluid still breaks down over time. Good practice

[@youtoobe169]

Mine had 162K miles on the original fluid and no issues.
