Differential Oil Replacement
I have a C 200, W203 year 2005. Never changed its differential oil. someone told me it is life long and others scare that I must have it changed since it has done over 100,000 kms. Can anyone help if it is ok not to worry about it for another 100,000 kms or what?

I should change it, if you are going to keep the car.

75W90, get it from the dealer. It takes 1.1 liters, which is annoying since you have to but 2 bottles, and they are not cheap. MB has used 85W90 before, which is what the manual states, but this was revised and dealers are no longer selling the 85W90

MB recommends 235.7 https://bevo.mercedes-benz.com/bevolisten/235.7_en.html. I've used the FUCHS TITAN SINTOPOID FE 75W-85 on my S204 C250 CDI 4Matic.
