So has anyone been able to find a US retailer for Mobil ATF 134? All I seem to find is Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF, which is something different, I think. Anyone else use anything other than the MB tranny fluid? Seems like Shell ATF 134 and the Fuchs Titan stuff is all that is readily available.

Shell makes MBs ATF 134. It used to come to the dealer in a shell box.

I use the shell ATF 134.

Thanks Merc63...You notice any difference with the Shell stuff over the stock fluid?

I've looked around and the Fuchs stuff is around $12/L and the MB stuff is all over the place anywhere between $12/L and $20/L depending on where you look for it. Seems like the Shell stuff goes for around $7-8/L. Is it just the MB/Fuchs " brand tax" or do those have anything special in them, i.e better wear additives, etc. to justify the premium price? I know they all meet the MB specs for our transmission but just wondering why the price disparity. Is it like pumping premium gas into a car that requires only regular?

As long as it meets the MB Spec for tranny fluid, brand is irrelevant really.

It's the exact same stuff, like I said, shell makes it

Just talked to the people at Mobil, their 134 ATF is only available in the U.S. in 55 gallon drums. You can buy it all over Europe in 1 liter bottles, but not here.
