My owner's manual recommends Dexron III but seeing as how that was printed nearly 17 years ago I don't even know if you can buy that anymore.

What about the MB brand available at the dealership? Will that work in the older transmissions or is that only for the newer vehicles? I'll probably end up checking with a service advisor to see what they would put in if I would have them do it at the MB dealer. I'll post his response.
