290,000 miles now. Just bought a 2010 GL550, so the ML is not likely to stay in the family long. It's had a great run though!

Wow, what an old thread! I still have the old ML from page 1 (http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/391550-post7.html) of this thread; 249,000 miles now.

The label says SAE 90, which is pretty much impossible to get. I filled it with Mobil 1 75W90. Will change every 40,000 miles; I'm not happy with differentials that only last 200,000 miles.

This last fill of oil only had about 1500 miles on it, and already had visible metal flakes in it. Swapped it out and now the roaring noise is gone. Pretty straightforward swap.

I have a 1998 model ML320, build date of 8/97. I have two labels stating that the front axle ratio is 3.70. Maybe only the V8's got the 3.46?

German cars are made to be driven! I don't think that's why it's smoking. My ML has 172K miles, has seen 110 mph, and doesn't smoke.
