Gilly,

I am well aware of MB stance on transmission maintenance: They say don't EVER change the fluid, it is good for life! But if you do, you have to use our fluid. Well, given the mostly negative results of their directions, I'll take my chances with Mobil 1 ATF.

Personally, I expect any automatic trans to last more than 125,000 miles.

Regards,

Jim
