I am not sure about this, but I believe the MB dipstick tool has a small "shoulder" feature about 75mm from the end that is used as the stop. In other words, if you bottom out a thin home made tool with the proper shoulder on it, it will stick in too far. I have an MB dipstick at home - I'll check my fluid level tonight and compare it to bottoming out home made one. I'll post my results here later.

Regarding the ATF, the MB fluid is OEM'd by Billstein-Febi as synthetic Dexron III.
