Hello,

I guess all MB ATs are 722.x models. In the past I've seen the 722.xx numbers for different models (240, 300, different years, ca models, etc) on adsit, but a quick look seems to show that this has changed. Is there a reference for at least w123 cars, but preferably for w210s and others too?

Also, is there a reference for the MB sheet numbers for atfs for these older ATs? Is it all 236.6/7 or what? I have the link to the mb website that tells you something about the fluids, but I don't have the actual reference to what sheet numbers went to what.

Thanks!

Also see this PDF file. Read pages 8-12 as it'll break down the whole 236.x thing for you.

Then read page 4 of this document and it'll tell you which 236.x fluids you should use and can be used in your transmission.

Thanks! I had seen the first link, but the other two are a bit more useful.

Can anyone comment on a cross-country vehicle vs a passenger vehicle? It seems that for a passenger vehicle, 236.3 is the only right fluid, whereas for cross-country vehicles, 236.3 or 236.6/7 are usable.

Fastlane sells 236.6/7, as psf. It still isn't clear to me that what is sold is truly correct for ps systems, and it may actually be optimal for older ats used in our diesels.

A cross-country vehicle refers to something like a M-class.

Ok, they also explicitly mentioned SUVs. I suppose the 236.3 isn't suitable for xc vehicles because the steering system may be harder on the fluid- perhaps the 236.6 is more robust? None of the links fully flush out the specs...
