2007 R350 Transfer Case and front and rear Differentials fluid change
I hear that the transfer case fluid needs to be changed preferrably at 39k, but will do it next week at 57k for $159. Does anyone know if the front and rear differential fluids also need to be changed. Is the transfer case hard to get to?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Transfercase and diffs are easy, straight forward.
What are the fluid part numbers? Does MB ONLY use this fluid?

I have an import garage that I use now for my maint and repairs. I'm not sure what fluid he has selected. Is the transfer case easily accessible? I know the dealership charges $240, but this guy will match the $159 I found at another MB Dealership. The differentials are not included in this price. Thoughts?

Went in to my import service shop in Naperville, IL for my oil change and also had the Transfer Case and front and rear Differential fluids changed. The Transfer Case on the 2007 R350 is accessible from under the car on a lift. I was originally told that multiple parts would need to be removed in order to access the TC. Not true.
