Part number help needed: Correct rear differential fluid for 2003 E500?
Which of the following rear diff. fluids is the right one for the W211 (2003 E500)?
-MB 000 989 28 03
-MB 001 989 17 03
-MB 001 989 05 03
The manual lists the second one for the W211, but I am confused as it is described as fluid for cars with LSD and 4matic.
Can someone help me out?

This is what's listed in my manual's products supplement:
MB 001 989 28 03 is the older front/rear differential oil under the 235.0 spec
MB 001 989 17 03 10 is the newer front/rear differential oil under the 235.7 spec
MB 001 989 21 03 10 is listed as the 4Matic transfer case oil
MB 001 989 05 03 isn't listed anywhere in my manual's products supplement.
