I once posted a question on BOBISTHEOILGUY web site and asked about the transmission fluid. Nobody could suggest any ATF to substitute the terribly expensive MB synthetic fluid. So I recommend staying with the MB fluid.
As for Mobil 1 0W-40 synthetic, the oil will do its job of lubricating very well, but people have reported losing oil because of volatility. If you live in a hot climate or do a lot of long distance driving (few startups), consider moving to thicker oils such as 5W-, 10W-, or 15W-40.
