Motyl Gear differential fluid

I ordered the Motul differential fluid for my 2014 ML350 4Matic. The link on eBay is https://www.ebay.com/itm/186032896217
when I ordered it it says fits my model. However when the item arrived, the label says it’s for transmission.


Anyone had used this before? Does it meets MB specification? The weight seems right but it doesn’t say hypoid gear oil.

another question about the transfer case, should I use the red Shell ATF 134 or the blue Pentosin ATF 134? I haven’t opened the transfer case to check the color yet. I want to make sure that I use the right transfer case fluid as well. Appreciate your help.

I recommend you contact Motul and ask them for advice. In my experience Motul provides good support. I went on their website and selected a W166. Here is their list of recommended products: Home / Oil Advisor / Mercedes-Benz (USA / CAN) M-Class
