Rear dif oil change
Factory says change rear diff lube after 2000 miles. Since I am not near a dealer I need to have changed. What type and amount should I need?

I believe it is the 75W40 Limited Slip oil - Castroi SyntraX - Mercedes P/N: A 001 989 52 03 10
You'll need about 3 of them as they are 0.5L bottles .. and it takes around 1.2L to fill.

2018 S560 and 2019 E450 Wagon.
As I remember it drains out of the sensor probe hole, the dealer who did mine struggled to figure out how to drain it as it's different than the 212's they said.

Correct - there is supposed a temp problem. I enquired into the bolt part number or gasket and they couldn't see anything on the system. Suggestion was to put some thread locker after change.
