Interesting thread....I just purchased a 1999 ML430 with approx 60,000 miles. I am looking to change the ATF and filter. What type of tranny is in the ML430? ....from what I have read, it should have a drain plug on the converter and need aprox 8 qts?? not sure.... how many quarts / Lts should I purchase and of what type of fluid?

Thanks for the help.

BTW I already purchased a trans dip stick to check the level when I fill it back up.
