new owner of a 77 300D
I just bought a 77 300D 2 weeks ago, and I am planning to change the transmission fluid. I use amsoil ATF in my jeep's AW4 transmission, and have some extra in my garage. The 300D has approx. 75K on it, so the mileage is low for an MB of that age. There are no leaks now. The Amsoil site does not list the W4B 025 transmission. I have seem some posts on the subject, but no definitive answer. Will putting this ATF in my automatic transmission cause bad things to happen?

Concgrats and welcome.
For safety's sake, get your trans fluid at a dealership or MB garage. Then you know for sure it is correct.
