mortinson Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Madrid, España Vehicle(s): '98 G300TD LWB, '98 E300TD Saloon Posts: 1355 | Fluids and capacities for a W163 ML320 Hello all, I am not very knowledgeable in servicing my wife's newly acquired W163 ML320. The car has been regularly serviced by MB garage here in Spain, but as usual a former owner had to have the auto gearbox replaced due to lack of proper maintenance. I normally do the servicing to my other cars. I am determined to prevent any other problems with the ML and would like to change the front and rear differential fluids plus the one in the transfer box, but I don't know about capacities dna quailities of the fluids needed and I was wondering if anyone could pass me this information (or any other regarding non-MB scheduled preventative maintenance for a W163). Many thanks in advance. Edited by mortinson 11/22/2007 7:20 AM | ||

In a Mercedes! This is almost sacrilegious. Yes, I know the ML is made stateside but it is a Merc nonetheless! It is obviously impossible to find US-metric tools in Spain so I had to buy a 10 mm square drive rachet and have it carefully filed to measure the 3/8". Ingenuity to power! Thanks again guys! | ||
