Change of Differential Fluid

Several years ago I requested my MB Dealer to change the fluid in my differential. I now have 185,000 miles on the buggy and I'm wondering if it should be changed again?

What is the change interval specified in the Operator's Manual?

I’ve always found I do the first at 30k then every 60k. First change always comes out grey from the wear-in

FWIW, I replaced my '05 E320 differential seal at 180,000 miles and replaced my fluid then. On my previous car, a 1992 300TE, I never even checked the fluid and I sold the car at 340,000 miles.

Cheers,
Peter
