Hello All, I like people that search out answers for their vehicles because that shows a level of care many persons driving cars just don't have. I am not sure if this is the spot I was suppose to introduce myself on? I clicked the icon for "New Member" intro but didn't see a "Header" after that. As you can probably guess by this so far I am not one use to using or being on forums and how they work so please excuse me if I am not following proper forum etiquette. I have been repairing vehicles since the 1980's and have held the titles of ASE Master Tech and Pontiac Master Tech. I have always enjoyed cars and have taken care of vehicles for customers during most of these years. NO ONE KNOWS ALL BECAUSE IT IS ALWAYS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE EVEN FOR EXPERTS. What prompted me to join this forum was specifically the requests for answers to differential fluid recommendations. Besides trying your best to follow what a manufacturer recommendation is you should always consider Professional Third Party Tests that compare different brands of fluids. Any one company can say they are the best or perform the best because they are... The reality is there are a lot of good or great fluids out there however even a big name brand has been Third Party Tested and FAILED certain aspects of it's so called protection/function. I want to be clear that I am not on here to sell anyone a product even though the passing of my Dad has given me the opportunity to be an Independent Dealer for a very highly proven and leader lubrication company. I encourage you to seek out Documented Third Party tests showing how the lubricant you are using or may be buying to use is stacking up against other names in the market. There is a very well known and trusted differential gear oil that has been mentioned and used in your forum that in one of the Third Party Tests fails the cold flow test which will leave your loved vehicle not protected like it should be! I am not on forums or social media much so until another time I hope you All stay safe and make it a great rest of August!

Hello, Even though I could be a vendor, that is not my intent here. I joined because we do occasionally service MB and I too was looking for some additional info even though we have access to service manuals through more than one source. I just saw someone who sounded like they could use some direction in getting a resolve to a question. This is why I offered general info and not one specific product. As far as being asked to post a pic I would be happy to do so but I do not know how. Also the pic would most likely be of our Saleen Mustang or my 2500HD Chevy Truck. We do look at MB cars [usually SL500 or 600's] but just haven't purchased yet.
