1998 e320 722.6 Transmission Fluid & Filter Change. Should It Be Done At All?
I have a 1998 e320 with 188K miles and a 722.6 transmission. I have heard stories over the years that Mercedes made a mistake by saying these transmissions never need a fluid and filter change. I also hear "experts" say that if there is no problem with the transmission, don't touch it because changing the fluid could cause problems. So, who's right and wrong?? Please don't come up with a political answer and say both answers are correct. There is a slight slip from first to second gear, but if changing the fluid could make the situation worse I won't do it. How could these transmissions be so sensitive?? I don't get it. Does anyone have a good, logical answer??

Change it and make sure you use the correct fluid. Also, on this application, the conductor plate may eventually need to be changed when it starts doing weird things while shifting.

I use mobil syncthiec for my 722.605 No problems since 2009. Did have front seal replaced when I put a newer motor.Never changed electrical plug,but drilled holes in coffin box in case of wicking.

You definitely can Change it and wouldn’t come up with any issue if you use the correct fluid. |
