Transmission Fluid for 1994 E320
The previous owner did a fluid change about 10,000 miles ago, and he used Dexron III. (By the way, Autozone shows Dexron III as the correct fluid for this car). Recently, the transmission developed an intermittent hesitation going from park to first gear. That is to say, it doesn't "catch" right away when cold, but once it does, it shifts just fine through the gears. I want to change the filter and replace the fluid to something more appropriate for this transmission to see it that helps. Is the synthetic ATF +4 an appropriate replacement fluid, or is the factory stuff the only way to go? I noticed Febi ATF in available online; is this what the factory uses? Thank you for any insight.

is a German Tank
I have always used Dexron III/mercon for my vehicle but I have always felt that, althought the tranny seems fine, it feels a little....sluggish?? I dunno, I usually just stick to what the factory says
