Always use gear oils with 75W-90 or 80W-98 rating for regular Mercedes cars.

Unless your differential is a limited slip variety, use 75W90 see:
http://www.redlineoil.com/pdf/5.pdf I just got two jugs in the UPS for my '87 300D rear end I doubt the noise will go away though, that usually is a sign of worn bearings. BTDT.

Dieseldiehard has it right. You want the 75W90 and yes it may help but won't probably make the noise go away. If you haven't used synthethic oil there before plan on changing it again after about 10,000 miles or so because that stuff really cleans out all the gunk.
