Changing fluids in a 2020 Mercedes Sprinter - differentials and transfer case [SERVICE B]

Описание: In this video Rob shows how to easily change the fluids in a 2020 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 4x4. The differentials are a critical part of the driveline, so ensuring their well-being is crucial. Luckily, it's exceptionally easy to replace the fluid in each - the whole job only requires the use of two tools!

First, we replace the fluid in the rear axle differential. This takes just under 2 quarts (or liters! they're nearly the same volume) of 80W90 hypoid gear oil. The Mercedes-Benz specification is 235.8, but we couldn't find any oil meeting this specification for sale in the United States, so we used Valvoline Durablend gear oil. The fill plug is removed by hand, and the drain plug is removed with a 14mm allen wrench.

Next, we replace the fluid in the transfer case. This uses transmission fluid, although in our case, it was not the same as the fluid in our transmission. Our transfer case used approximately 1 liter of ATF134 fluid. Our transmission uses ATF134FE fluid. These fluids are not interchangeable. The fill plug is removed with a 14mm allen wrench, and the drain plug is removed with a 19mm standard hex socket (or wrench).

Finally, we replace the fluid in the front differential of our 4WD system. This differential uses just under 1qt (or liter!) of 80W90 gear oil. Mercedes-Benz specifies 235.31 gear oil, but again, we could not find any oil for sale in the United States that meets this specification. We used the same Durablend gear oil as in the rear differential. The fill and drain plugs are both removed using the same 14mm allen wrench. A medium length extension (approximately 6" minimum) is probably necessary. You'll make a bit of a mess draining this fluid; it can't really be helped. Luckily, there isn't much.

Hopefully this helps at least one person out there to do this job on their own. It's super easy and well worth the cost savings to us to do it on our own.
