DO NOT use Mobile 1 for the rear Diff. You need to use MBZ Synthetic Transmission Fluid....or at least that what THEY WANT YOU TO BELIEVE...
I use Valvoline MaxLife ATF...meets specs and is WAAAYYYYY cheaper. I pick it up for $15 Canadian Dollars for a gallon at my local WalMart. Works like a charm. I have done 2 transmission fluid changes already and no issues.

This is what I was afraid of. One person says to use a certain oil and someone else is like DON'T YOU DARE USE THAT OIL! Is there anyone who is certain about which oil I can use. I would like to use the Mobile 1 but it does have the GLS specifications, only LS. I would really love to use AMS-oil. Anyone else have any advice?

Here is some good info from the WIS (2006). Apparently synthetic was used after 4.11.2001. See below.
Not to confuse, but Germans use Day/Month/Year, Americans use Month/Day/Year.
Not sure which format the WIS is using.
Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to use non Mercedes gear oil.
Edit: I see a date down there of 18.01.04 so it must be D/M/Y.

Ah, sorry,,
Yeah, this "Omnifit 100H" is normal threadlocker with medium strength,
usually used with soft/fine thread like this oil drain with (1-pitch),,
but you can use any good threadlocker with medium viscosity strength..
