For anyone trying to find the correct Castrol differential oil in the US at a reasonable price, it's not easy. I finally found a good "cheap" source based on another forum member's post identifying that Mercedes was utilizing same fluid for AMG cars. Part number shown in photo. Paid $13 per bottle from www.bmwmercedesparts.com but I suspect they had old pricing as I found much higher prices elsewhere. It took forever to receive as it was out of stock. Get your next order in Dack!
