Pros & Cons
Pros
The lube works well, the car drives as it should. I have a late 70's era mercedes diesel sedan that calls for this type of lubrication for the rear end/differential. High quality lubricant.
Highlights
Quality
Another high quality product from liqui moly will continue to use them is my mercedes cars

The dealership will tell you that their replacement part number 001989170310 which is only 75w85 can be used without reservation but im skeptical of that claim with the high torque that the diesel and amg versions produce
