Where in NY are you located?

Your 722.641 transmission requires the use of MB fluid A001 989 45 03 10 or A001 989 21 03 10. It is a proprietary formula refined and blended by Fuchs or Shell in Germany. Because the wholesale price for a replacement transmission is over $4000, it behooves you to use only the correct fluid. Please, no $1.99 Dexron.

Figure on 5 liters for a drain/filter replacement. ~9 liters is the total system capacity, so allow 10 liters for a complete service with flush.
Better to have too much on hand while exchanging it than not enough.

A DIY. Related pictures & more pics.

Let us know if you need more information.

Damn. Any more help and splinter would have to do the flush for ya'.

Great post.

thanks alot guys

Completely agree that it isn't worth the risk to use anything but the proprietary MB ATF fluid, but just curious if anyone's used any of the "top-shelf" ATF synthetics (i.e. Redline, Royal Purple, etc.) in their AMG tranny... in theory, it could be just as good if not better than the MB stuff, right? Probably just not worth the trial and error to make sure...

i usually swear by AMSOIL products, and i do use their European synthetic in the motor, but i would definitely not use anything but the factory recommended tranny fluid...i did a tranny flush/filter change at 100,000miles after a slight contamination from a faulty radiator and my tranny is still running strong! 117,000miles and still going strong...
