fuchs 4134, do a search to see how much you will need for a flush or full replacement

I’d suggest using MB-approved ATF in your 722.6. Fuchs 4134 works well in mine.

That is about right. I spent $125 ordering all the parts for my C55 from rmeuropean.com except that got me14 quarts (about 13.6 liters) of the Fuchs 4134 (as opposed to your 11 liters), MB OEM transmission filter, rubber gasket pan seal, red locking tab, and washer/nut. I took the parts to my indy and paid the $90 for labor to have the full fluid swap done. Very happy.

Doing my DIY differential fluid change next weekend! Pretty pumped.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Kit

filter gasket www.autohausaz.com way under 72 bucks
you need the dipstick and pan magnet
valvoline mb spec maxlife about 5bucks qt at walmart etc.
you need more than 9 qts because in order to drain the 722.6 fully
you need to disconnect the cooling line and flow fluid through the converter otherwise only pulling the pan plug and dropping the pan when drained you will get out under 5 qts and that leaves almost half the old fluid in the transmission.

Critical to get the fluid level correct at the proper temp. Use the mb dipstick tool.
your car does not have one.

Essentially, unless you really know what you're doing and have enough time, this job might be better left to the pros.
