SI35.31-P-0002A Service Information: Rear axle gear 3.7.02
MODEL 129, 170, 202, 203, 208, 209, 210, 211, 215, 220, 230

Since 04.11.2001 all rear axle gears, size h 185, h 187FE, h 198, h
210E have been filled in series production with a newly developed,
more efficient, synthetic fill-for life oil
(universal hypoid gear oil, SAE 75W-85).

Designation: Titan EG 50 10 D
Part number: A 001 989 33 03 10 (1 l can)
Manufacturer: Fuchs Europe GmbH, Mannheim

In production the use of this oil starts as of rear axle gear serial number:

Rear axle gear size serial number
h 185 3 599 191
h 187FE 1
h 198 1 451 082
h 210E 442 288
h 240V 1756 (conversion on 12.02.2002)

The fully synthetic oil can also be used without reservation for rear axle gears manufactured before 04.11.2001.

A mixture of old and new oil would not affect the basic functions, such as wear resistance, leak tightness etc. of the rear axle gear, should however, be avoided because of the better fuel economy behavior.
