I am more or less in the same boat as you. My thoughts are to go with Shell ATF 3403 M-115, because it is the M-B replacement. Some guys here recommend Valvoline Max Life NAG1, which appears to work well, as per their feedback. I believe the 722.6 tansmission is designed for the 236.10 lubricant spec and Shell 134 may be more for 722.9 transmissions. The original M-B ATF is not available that readily, so we need to look at other options, also where to procure may be a challenge. Good luck.

Re ATF
Did more checking and ended purchasing Shell ATF 134 from ryderfleet and around 5 bucks. Found out that spec 236.10 is compatible and has been updated to spec 236.14 (Star Bulletin, August 13, 2008) which specifies Shell ATF 134 and Fuchs Titan ATF 4134 as compatible. I am doing a full change (pan and T/C) estimate 9 lts. but purchase case of 12 qts.
Hope this helps.

After searching for M-B ATF with no luck, I opted for Shell 134 ATF. According to the package and confirmed by Shell Technical, it is compatible and approved for 236.10, 12 and 14 specs as well as NAG I to V standard.(reference Star Bulletin dated Aug. 13, 2008, Order S-8-00 40/89 as well as "Operating Fluids M-B extranet; 236.14 Automatic transmission fluids (ATF, Specification 236.14, updated 1/09/2012") It is M-B approved for factory fill.
The list also includes several other options such as:
FUCHS Titan ATF 4134
M-B 236.14 ATF, A 001 989 68 03
Mercedes-Benz Automatik Get... Blatl 236.14
Mobil ATF 134
OMV ATF M plus
QB AUTO 25
Shell ATF 134

I chose Shell because of availability, compatibility and the technical information. Hope this helps anyone that is wondering what ATF is best for your 722.6.
