Hi All,
Changed the fluid on both my ML and S recently with MB fluid.
New MB pan gasket and MB Filter was installed. Level is checked with OE Tool using MB fluid.
Pan was tightened to 8Nm.

The book calls for 8 Nm torque but no sequence is called out. There are only 6 bolts.
No fluid leak on the S, and a constant little leak on the ML.
Both sealing surfaces were checked and cleaned.
Q: Is there a specific tightening sequence? I didn't see one in the manual.
Q: Anybody ever had to replace the pan, due to some warpage? Its never been hit or anything.
I don't want to waste the fluid if at all possible..
Appreciate the input as always.
