The "flushes" generally do more harm than good...

ATF is very easy to do. The hardest part of the process is finding the Torque Converter drain plug. Easiest way is to "carefully" turn the TC with a large screwdriver otherwise you'll need to turn the crank and have someone under the car watching until it is visible.

There was a great tip in my "E-Class Bible" that says after draining the pan, only unbolt the frontmost 2 bolts, then SLIGHTLY loosen the two rear and let the pan tip forward naturally as this will save a boatload of remaining fluid from spilling all over your floor.
