A note on that additive. I used it based on a post I found on a forum post somewhere, but later someone challenged me on it. I really dug into the official MB literature and could find nothing that said my ASD differential needed any additive, the "normal" gear lube was specified. The additive I found is specified for limited slip differentials from the 70's, I think in the SL or SLC cars?
All that to say that you may find that you don't need it. ------------- Max Charleston SC On Sun, May 14, 2017 at 8:33 AM, Meade Dillon <dillonm...@gmail.com> wrote: > I found it!
