Bad Advice??
I recently picked up an 87 190D Turbo with 200k. The previous owner seems to have taken good care of her, but he said something that rung hollow with me. He said NOT to change the ATF because it was a sure-fire way to kill a tranny. His reasoning was that the particles in the fluid enhanced the friction in the tranny, keeping it tight and strong. Fresh fluid would, he said, cause the tranny to slip.
This is crazy, right?
