MB has backed away from the filled for life ATF.
Nope, still filled for life, unless the new ones have a schedule for change, I can check later. On the 722.6 MB has not revised the maintenance schedule, maybe some DEALERS have, but just because they miss the money, MB never told them to.
Think about it, how would MB make the most money, a recommended service (with purportedly "MB-only" expen$ive fluid, plus filter and gasket) every 30K or so, or selling trannies to , oh I don't know, lets say 10-15% of the fleet?? (and even that is on the high side I'd say, vocal minority in action) I think they'd opt to sell the service work, they make alot of profit on that fluid I'm sure, $10-12 a liter? How much do you think THEY pay??
