Transmission Oil Level w/o dipstick

How do you check your C300's transmission oil level without dipstick? Where is the trans oil filler cap anyway if you need to add? Nothing in the operators manual on this.

To check transmission oil without dipstick simply look through the looking glass on the right side of the transmission

Where exactly, under the hood or under the car? How could you tell if it's low? Also how to fill it? It's crazy that there are no documentations on this.

Depending on your year of manufacture, you can have the W205 equiped with the codename 722.9 (7 Speed) or the 725.0 (9 speed) transmission.

You can search for the transmission name and it will come up. I believe you have to get under the car and observe the drain port for the 7 speed.
