2013 E350 vin: WDDHF5KB5CA623857 ,No start/stop feature so just 7G-tronic correct ?

The switch to 7G+ was in 2011…. there’s documentation, if you search, that shows the cut-off date and differences in oil pan design.

Run data card and it should tell you.
Other indication is that 7G require single service at about 40k miles and then "for life"
when 7G+ require service, depending on the engine every 60-70 k miles.
7G+ also has finer filter.

Plus

Thanks for your replies I thought only MB vehicles with start/stop and eco features had PLUS , one more question . Does sport package transmission differ from others , some online vin decoder sites say 427 AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-Speed Sport Transmission for my vin , this is impossible right ?

Here’s your data card. Most likely an error MCT transmission is essentially the 7G-Tronic automatic transmission without a torque converter of which you have. I have also seen 427 = 7G-TRONIC PLUS.
