Differential / Axle Service

Mercedes Differential Service Package

What's a Rear Differential / Axle Service Package?

Your Mercedes-Benz will require a Differential service periodically to ensure a long life.

We find that differential fluid typically becomes dark and contaminated after 150,000km.

Reasons for servicing your Differential / Axle
  • Keeps your Mercedes prepared for towing or heavy loads
  • Reduces wear in your differential which can cause clunks or noises
  • Includes Mercedes specification transmission fluid or differential fluid

Common questions about the Differential/Axel service

What's the benefit?

By having your differential serviced on time and before any noises or clunks occur, owners often see 500,000km before failure. 

Mercedes specifies that the fluid in differentials can last up to 300,000km or ten years in between replacement.

But, we often see that the fluid becomes dark in colour by 150,000km, so we use this as our recommended service interval.

If you are unsure about the condition of your differential fluid, the good news is that we check both during any of our A, B or Major services and will advise you if a differential / axle service is required for your Mercedes SUV or car.

Differential and Axle are just a different name for the same thing! The Axle fluid service and Differential fluid service are the same thing for a Mercedes and both terms can be used.
