x166 Transfer case fluid
Hi All. I have 2 questions. Is it common for the dealer to change the Transfer case fluid during a transmission fluid change. I think the answer is no
What is the correct transfer case fluid for a 2015 GL450. Pelican parts lists few options and they are all blue (ATF 134 FE) but I think I read on one of the threads that Transfer case fluid is red
Thanks in advance

You can find the fluid type in your owner's manual but most MB transfer cases use the red ATF134 which is 236.14 spec. I would personally recommended that you drain and refill the transfer case every 10k miles, or every 2 engine oil changes. I've heard a lot of transfer cases gone bad but I'm not really sure how much difference it will make by replacing the fluid that often, but it's very cheap and easy to do.
