Pure B S....
Several threads in the archives should have put this to rest long ago..
perhaps search ' Larry Bible ' ' magic fluid '.....

The reason it started was people putting ' temporal incident ' into the ' causational incident ' category...
Many times trans are not serviced until way late... certainly not at their recommended frequency...which is pretty short for the MB compared to old American cars...
so they change it....and just due to the age of the trans and lack of care.... pretty soon it gives up the ghost... but they blame the fluid and filter change....because they are not very bright...

The regular approved fluid with two cans of Trans-X is what I use in all new to me auto trans cars..... follow directions on side of can...and do search in archives about it... simply a varnish desolver...
Then change the fluid and filter again soon....like 100 miles.... since you do not know the history of the maintenance....
