Ok I am in on changing the tranny fluid, 55k miles. I plan to stop by the dealer tomorrow and pickup the stuff. I have read and searched etc on what i need, it seems no two post are the same what gives, how much fluid do i need with the converter emptied? is it 8.5 or 9.? wow,, do i change the electrical connector or? I know some of you will redirect me to post i have read that are all different. I am going to use the mb stuff as i just dont like royal purple since they changed. please no more lnks that contraDICT each other. Kevin

other than mb spec 722.6 or 722.9 fluid.
www.autohausaz.com has it for 15 bucks.they also have the filter and gasket
do you have the dipstick(i sell for $40 delivered)
mercedesshop.com has one of the best diy's
even draining the converter enough fluid will be left in the internals that 9 qts.is plenty.Remember never use anything with lint or loose fibers to wipe down the pan after cleaning it with parts cleaner,use lint free shop towels.
latest word from mb is to slowly fill per the diy bring to temp and finish fill to the upper 80c mark on the special dipstick for best shift quality ad less foaming.
Use of a lift if you can borrow one makes this job much easier.
