2016 GLE Rear Differential fluid change
Hello,
Does anybody have the PDF file/Benz procedure for the Rear Differential fluid change on GLE 2016. It will be appreciated. Trying to change it myself and looking for Drain plug torque and specks.
Thank You

See attached.
Step number 1: check that the fill plug can be removed and is not stuck or seized. This avoids the problem where the oil is drained from the unit, and the fill plug is unable to be removed to refill the axle.
Rear axle drain and fill plugs A3529970032, 2 required. Torque 50Nm.
Rear axle oil spec 239.71, weight 75W-85, fill quantity up to 1.2 liters depending on axle ratio - purchase two 1 liter bottles to be sure. Fill to overflow.
Strictly speaking, there is no drain/fill procedure as part of scheduled maintenance, because MB doesn't specify fluid change for the life of the vehicle. Maintenance booklet attached.
