Change it
even Mercedes changed their tune on lifetime fluid claims and now say 38k miles so you are way past due.
No fluid was meant to go 200k miles.
You have a torque converter drain so the fluid filter and converter drain are pretty simple if you follow direction on www.benzworld.org w210 diy section or on www.peachparts.com
Someone around here has the special dipstick required

MB’s of all kinds.
Wow that is really great shape for its age and miles. We had a 85 300SD Turbo. We got rid of it at 170k and kick ourselfs for it and now trying to find another is hard. The guy has it now with 212k on it.

MB Part No. A001 989 21 03 10 - the original 5 speed fluid
You can also use the fluid for a 722.9.. transmission:
MB Part No. A001 989 45 03 13 - 7 speed fluid
If you are going to do the service yourself, you'll need a 9 qts. of fluid, trans fluid filter, dipstick tube lock, two seals (pan and convertor drain plugs), pan gasket and tools.
In order to calibrate the level correctly you'll need a 'dipstick' tool which has a calibration tip to measure the level correctly. The poster, ohlord, sells those or you can get them from the dealer or a third party supplier like autohausaz. You can actually get everything needed from autohausaz with some savings over the dealer pricing. But there are other suppliers as well.
The drain plugs are 5mm hex bit and torque is 24Nm on pan and 27Nm on torque convertor. Pan mounting bolts are T30 torx bit and torque is 12Nm.
Good luck.

MB recommends two fluids for the 722.6.. transmission:

El transmission no es no mas "maintenance free". Mercedes changed the recommendation to fluid change once at 60K miles, I think, then you can leave it alone, but I think a change at 200K would be good in any case.

thank you very much. e320 question all 97 have the same number of transmission or 722.9 .. 722.6 ..? I would not want an oil that is not the originality, you know enough about this car, I'm sorry so many questions, and heard this theory Transmit is maintenance free, according to Mercedes, there are many people with broken transmission due to lack of maintenance, I do not want the same thing happens to me, thank you very much

Regarding when to change it, you will get a wide range of opinions about that on these sites. I think that is due to the fact that some people don't understand or believe in the superiority of synthetic lubricants. I changed mine at 125,000 mi (soon after I bought the car). And the while the oil was dark there was no noticeable debris in the bottom of the pan. A little fine 'grit' (aluminum, brass and graphite) is considered normal. Larger sized debris is cause for alarm.
BTW, you might examine the cap on the transmission dipstick tube. MB uses a little plastic locking pin to secure it. If it is black the transmission probably hasn't been opened since new. If it is red, it probably has been. Although that doesn't prove it has been fully serviced.
Good luck.

You can confirm your transmission subnumber (722.???) by entering your VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) at this site. It will also tell you where/when it was first delivered and what options came on it.
