Poll: Mobil 1 ATF or 10W30 for W123 (240D, 300D etc...)'s MANUAL transmission.

Dear friends:

I'd like to have a poll to see what fluid (Mobil 1 ATF or Mobil 1 10W30) people would prefer to put in their W123's MANUAL transmission.

I go for Mobil 1 10W30 because Red Line MT fluid also has a 5W30
or 10W30 viscosity

Thanks!

Eric

Although some of the older owners manuals may indicate ATF, others indicate motor oil. ATF has gone through some really drastic changes since that manual was printed. It does not work well with the seals of that old transmission.

The last 350,000 miles or so of my 240D manual have been with Mobil one 10W30. If you insist on using ATF, find some type A.

Good luck,
