Dextron III

I have a 1996 500 SL. Is Dextron III OK? I want to do an oil and filter change this week.:)

You say oil and filter, but I assume you mean transmission fluid and filter. If so, Dextron III may be acceptable, but the Castrol ATF Import MV should be more applicable. They have it at Advance Auto.

Use what your manual calls for. Nothing else unless you want problems.

Dexron fluid w/o the correct additive package will do more damage than good!

Use the correct MB fluid made by DSH 3353 (Shell) or Fuchs 3353.

MB sells the fluid under MB 001-989-45-03-10.

Ha, Ha Ha. LOL.
Manual says Automatic transmission fluid for automatic transmissions. Also has a note that the MB Dealer can advise you on fluids.
