It was filled with ATF likely for easy cold morning shifts, but AT is a lousy MTF.
You say this based on what information?

What did MB spec for it?
Most years, the manual called for Dexron III ATF. There were a couple of years where they speced one of the lighter weights of motor oil, but then they switched back to reccommending ATF. In addition to research on this site, I also asked the dealer what to use in my MT 240D, and they also said Dexron III.
