Arrow Rear diff fluid change? What weight?

While doing the transmission service I might as well do the rear diff of our 2009 e350 ( NON 4matic). I can't seem to find specifically what weight fluid is needed. When I check sites that have multiple things listed:
85W-90, or 75w-85

Which should we be using for the rear diff?

I found this:

A001 989 17 03 10: 85W-90

Or

A001 989 33 02 12 : 75w-85

Or

Part #001 989 3303 12 7: 75w-85

Just not entirely sure which one to get or which one our diff needs? I know it takes about 1.5liters. And do we know a part number for two new differential plugs (fill and drain)? I read that those should also be purchased new when replacing fluid, not to reuse the old ones.

Thanks,
-Nigel

See the Bevo site.

239.71 or 239.72, they are the same 75W-85 oil.

Buy the oil from a dealer. Front axle, rear axle and transmission.

Drain plugs can be found online at mbparts.mbusa.com or similar. Or if you have WIS/EPC from eBay, it’s $10-$20.

I have a 2008 E350 (W211) in Australia
Mercedes sells at $ 100+ a litre as per current price and available on order
Alternative is LM 85W90 (Mineral) approx. $20 a litre

75w as I understand is the new synthetic one compared to older spec of 85W
