Do not flush the transmission, ever. Only let AMOCCO do it if they will drain the torque converter completely (it has a drain plug) and install new OEM filter (not some crap aftermarket). Do not use engine flush either -- MB uses plenty of oil, and their engines do not sludge up, unlike some others, especially if you use synthetic oil. Never use dino oil for extended use, you will have an incredible amount of "hard sludge" accumulate.
I would presonally fill with synthetic tranny fluid (I used it on the 280 SE after it blew a cooler line, much improved tranny operation).
