I think I'll take my old, dated 722.5.

I can also check the transmission fluid level on the tranny without some special Scotty-From-Star-Trek gizmo.....

Ain't technology grand????
It's always sooo boring to hear from guys that don't have the new stuff--and therefore have no clue--just how bad the new stuff is.

A Mercedes with a 5- or 7-speed is light years better than the old 4-speeds, especially those that start in 2nd--meaning they're effectively a 3-speed. The new transmissions really transform the car's performance.

A few bucks more for fluids is irrelevant in the big picture.
