Thank Scott,
I hardly believe if Mercedes manufactures transmission oil Otherwise, they would use Mercedes motor oil also instead of Mobil 1 right?
I got trans fluid from a local Mercedes & BMW part distributor here. It's Dexon III, Dexon III-H manufactured and imported from Germany. None account $14.xx/quart and $8.xx for reseller.
I got 9 quarts, and did the trans flush today. There was no torque converter plug in my trany???
. I had tried to look very carefully but the only sign that might had been a hold were already welded
so I only drained the oil from the pan, replaced filter, gasket, and 4.5 quarts of fluid. The old fluid was totally black
. Maybe I got a bad radiator
. The jerk seems gone, but don't know when/if it comes back. At least now it runs a lot better
