So clutches make the seals different? I suspect not.

Given the volumes that MB has published on approved and recommended fluids, I think their silence on this particular matter speaks volumes all by itself.

So…you can maintain your vehicle on the basis of the manufacturer's specifications. Or you can operate on the basis of unsubstantiated rumor. What a tough decision!
