Very cool, thanks for sharing. Can you say where you purchased it?

Uberwgn: FYI - MBDOC posted that attachment on the Tech forum a while ago.

You will want to know, that in that post HE mentioned there were two part numbers for the #3353 fluid. Be certain to ask for the part number shown in the attachment as the other (ends in 13 rather than 10) costs ~50% more.

Thsi may be a pricing/part# glich MB has cleared up since the time of the original post.

not that I know any better....

When I went to my dealer to buy fluid, they insisted on selling the old fluid for my MY99 E300. He said the new fluid would work, but recommended selling the old. They had both in stock.

On the other hand, I went to my other MB dealer this weekend. Asked them the price of motor oil, he said $5.95. He insisted that MB helps with the price. What was interesting is he said they no longer recommend 0W-40 for diesels. They recommend 15W-50. I asked what about 5W-40, he repeated 15W-50. I'm not saying he's right, I'm saying what he said.

Went to my dealer today and they are still selling the old 722.6 fluid for it. The parts guys didn't know if it was backwards compatible. Cost was $17. I ordered some from importec.com for $11. They are still selling the "old" fluid yet too.

How hard is it to change the fluid on these trans? Thats one of the things I love about the SDL, trans fluid changes are cake walks.
