I haven't checked in the owners manual yet. |
mercedes doesn't recommend to change the fluid, but it can be done.
i think it should be done atleast every 60k, by following the no service recommendation, i have seen transmissions fail between 80 and 125k. the last one i worked on the pan was full of needle bearings, the atf was black like diesel oil. the filter, pan gasket and oil is all available for purchase.
