2011 ML350 Bluetec with 112,000 Maintenance

I am planning on doing the following maintenance in the next few weeks and could use some help with specific instructions for each of the following for my year vehicle:

Coolant flush and change

Front differential fluid change

Rear differential fluid change

Transfer case fluid change

Thanks in advance.

There's for the bottom 3, super easy. Coolant is similar, there is a drain the the radiator itself.

Thank you so much. I looked under today and could see the rear differential. So the front is my main concern.... differential and transfer case for this model.
As far as the coolant, I was thinking about trying to flush it, but maybe I'll just do the easy change.
Thanks again

Do you have drawing s of the plug locations on the transfer case and front differential. That would also help.
Thanks again.

They are all the same bolt and yes they are in there. You'll need to take off the black covers underneath up front to access them.

You didn't mention the A/T Fluid change. If it hasn't been done in a while, you should do it, its a very important serfvice.
