22Nm for the transfer case plug
35Nm for the front diff plug
30Nm for the rear diff plug
Finally did mine today. At 64K miles, all fluids looked OK. At least with my driving style, 60K replacement interval is fine. To gain extra space, I put the truck in the raised position and put 4 jack stands all around just in case it decides to low itself. Took about 2 hours at a slow pace.Originally Posted by GLguy
Maybe the difference between the years? My MB workshop manual lists:22Nm for the transfer case plug
35Nm for the front diff plug
30Nm for the rear diff plug

The differential drain plugs do NOT fit with washers. Rather, there are o-rings, and I for sure did not reuse 11-year-old o-rings. New drain plugs from Mercedes come with new o-rings.Originally Posted by WaveyKat

on my 11-year-old car with 75k miles, both diff fluids looked like new, the transfer case fluid pretty good.
