its on the right hand side of the engine and is small black plastic box with a screw lid. At operating temperature, on level ground and with the engine now off unscrew the lid. There is a small plastic dip stick attached to the underside with a min/max level indicators. Make sure you are between the lines, too much fluid is just as bad as too little. The oil to use is only availiable I think through Mercedes Dealer and in the UK is about £10 ($20) approx.

Good Luck

Fluid amount has to be perfect. I had to add a couple ounces to red rid of a noise from the pump.

I think I paid $15 for a quart. One quart is enough to replace the old fluid in the reservoir.
