Other approved mb tranny fluid
Question for everyone out there is it okay to use other mb approved tranny fluids other than OEM MB fluid?
I went to the local dealer ship today and picked up about 4 Shell tranny fluid bottles, but found this online which was cheaper and also mb approved oil.

Anyone know if this product is okay to use in a 02 c240?

I ask why bother, when you can get the latest and greatest OEM fluid for less than that at RM European

"ATF Transmission Fluid NOTE: For use with 7-Speed Transmission 722.9 NOTE: This is a high performance fluid designed to optimize shifting performance. (ATF 4134) MBZ Approval: 236.12/236.14"
OK for 5-speed Auto as well?

I used Febi Bilstein brand tranny fluid recommended for my 02 C240 when I did the fluid and filter service.
I have driven approx. 10,000 km (6000 miles) and haven't had any issues or problems at all.
I have also attached what MB recommends for the 722.6 - 5 spd. auto tranny.
