S213 - 2017 e220 - Differential Oil Change

Hi all,
Car is now 6 years old so not going to dealer, just hit 60k Km.

What oil should be used? I see Castrol Syntrax 75w-140 being mentioned, 1200ML.

Can anyone offer any advise? Is it just a basic drain / fill plug? (Is it hex/allen or a nut?) - I work on all my own marine diesel engines / gearboxes but will give it to my indie friend as he has a lift and is quite a tidy mechanic, but would be nice to know in advance what's involved.

Thanks all

This site has the information you need . 75W85 for non AMG. . My understanding is there's both a drain and fill plug. Going to change the rear diff fluid myself this weekend.

TOP TIP: Don't forget to ensure you can undo the fill plug before you open the the empty plug. You really don't want to drain the fluid and THEN find you can't replace.....

Changed the rear differential fluid today. There are two 14MM hex drain plugs on the driver side. Drain plug part number in the last photo.

Thanks for the info, 75w85 seems to be the correct oil for S213 2017 e220, yes? (I wrongly stated 75w140 in the OP, which appears to be for AMG)
