ML 430 Trans/Differential Mtce Intervals
 
What are the factory recommended fluid change intervals for a 1999 ML 430 for: transmission/torque converter, front and rear differential, and transfer case?

The information provided when we purchased our ML was that none of these components required maintenance. I think that has changed for the transmission, but I have heard recommended intervals ranging from every 37,5000 miles to 75-100K miles. I know Mercedes has its own Automatic Transmission Fluid and I would use that for any change, but what's the "official" recommended change interval?

I believe the differentials and transfer case are still regarded as "no maintenance." Can someone please confirm this?

Thanks in advance for any information.

MB suggests that only the engine oil needs changed!

IF you believe that....don't read or follow this advice.

Change fluids in the trans, transfer case, & differentials every 50-60K miles

Change the engine oil before the FSS lamp comes on, maxi mun every 10K miles.

Use recommended synthetic fluids.
