I do not remember the fluid recommenended, but the converter has a drain plug as viewed thru the "cage" forward of the pan. I used two mirrors to view while advancing the engine from out front.
Me, thinks it is a 5-6 mm allen plug. Fill, run, & refill as required to insure TC is filled. BTW, the fluid used is nowhere as expensive as the dealer tranny fluid for the '99 E300D.
