Re: Transmisson fluid
It is true that some cars will do fine changing the transmission fluid
every 100,000 miles.It is also true that you do not want to introduce
contaminants into the transmission when the fluid and filter is
changed.Use clean, lint free towels.I drive past Eagle transmission every
day going to work and notice that every bay has a car on it getting the
transmissions worked on.With the cost of repair on a Mercedes transmission
being what it is,I am not willing to take the chance of going 100,000 miles
before changing the fluid and filter.I will be changing the AT fluid myself
every 3 years in my 1995 SL320 with a new filter.In fact I replace all
fluids and filters every 3 years and the oil and filter every 3500
miles.I use Mobil 1 synthetic 0W-40 at the dealership and the true MB OEM
filter.I sleep very well.

Not a good idea. More luck than anyhting else. More cars die of bad trannies through burnt
or "chunky" oil than a piece of lint in the valve body.
You aren't supposed to get lint anywhere near a tranny anyway, you use lint free
cloths when you need to use a cloth at all, and you use your fingers to wip off the
tranny dipstick.
