2002 C320 Trans Fluid change Valvoline
Okay.. For the past week ive been reading a lot about which fluid to use for my 722.6 tranny.
I just came across this tonight valvoline

This fluid is fully synthetic of course..

Well i was looking up what that was and this is what i came up with.
Wiki: 5G-Tronic
The Mercedes-Benz 5G-TRONIC (also called 722.5, 722.6) is an electronically shifted 5-speed overdrive automatic transmission. It is in the process of being replaced by the Mercedes Benz 7G-Tronic Transmission which was introduced in 2003. However, all V12-powered cars such as the S600 and S65 AMG still retain the 5G-Tronic, which has a torque capacity of 796 lb-ft, as the newer 7G-Tronic is limited to 542 lb-ft, not enough to handle the torque from the V12 engine. [1] Also, while rear-wheel drive W211 E-Class cars have adapted the 7G-Tronic, those with 4MATIC retain the five-speed automatic, although the next-generation W212 E-Class released for the 2010 model year has dropped the 5G-Tronic entirely.
In Chrysler applications this transmission is identified as the New Automatic Gearbox- Generation One, or NAG1.

This is not an appropriate fluid for the 722.6 - it's a hell of a compromise & not approved. Use Fuchs Titan 4134 - Seems the cheapest available approved fluid in the US.
It's interesting just how much torque a 722.6 can absorb. It's one tough transmission.

I was also reading that the new 7 speed that MB has. Is cheaper than the 5 speed ATF and its backwards compatible.

Mr. Ruck is correct to recommend the latest 236.14 specification ATF in our 722.6 & 722.9 transmissions.
Although Ashland refines and blends some worthwhile products (its HOAT G-05 antifreeze among them), it’s false economy to substitute ‘universal’ ATF for use our costly gearbox.
Note several modified M113 Kompressor and V-12 enthusiasts here beat on ‘em mercilessly, yet they’ve proven remarkably reliable when properly maintained.

Regarding Rocky Mountain European -
Submitted a web-site order late Sunday evening last, including fourteen liters (for another complete flush) of Fuchs’ 4134. After sleeping on it, called them with a few additional preventative maintenance items & revisions at first light Monday morning. Specified ‘free’ ground shipping on the $500/40-pound order (circumventing L.A. County’s 9.75% tariff in the process), only to discover all of them waiting on my front porch upon returning from the work Tuesday.
I can recommend them without reservation.

THE C350
I exclusively use rme as well. My first order with them i messed something up they kept apoligizing and took care of me. I Have ordered from them 3 or 4 times now and always have gotten exactly what i ordered within a week. They ship fedex ground for there free shipping so ca to va takes awhile but for the price and free shipping i don't complain.
May i also recommend PN 203-820-15-21 and 203-820-16-21
They are the updated clear mirror turn signal lights best $50 dollars i have ever spend on my car. I have some pics if you want to see what they look like.

You should use fluid approved against 236.14. Mandated by Benz from approx 2007 for 722.6.

2006 Jeep Commander V6 2WD
I hope one of you can help me out. My 2006 Jeep Commander happens to have a 5G-Tronic transmission. I have the dip stick with the temp marks, I just don't have the transmission Fluid Graph for the transmission. Can someone please help me out.
This page is going to be big help, because my Jeep may have the name Jeep, but the whole thing was built by DaimlerChrysler. In fact the 5G-Tronic transmission was built by Chrysler. I have learned a lot reading about Mercedes that has helped my understand more about the Commander.
Thank you
