Oem or aftermarket fluids on 63k W212
Only maintenance I’ve done on this bad boy is oil changes, air and cabin filters and brakes. At 63k miles, just swapped the coils and plugs because of a CEL. She’s running like new. I’m looking to also swap out tranny oil and filter, diff oil, brake fluids, coolant. Can someone link me fluid capacities. Also should I go oem or after marketing on fluids? I’m choosing between 2 Indy euro shops to do it soon

Have a look at your favorite parts supply house or FCP Euro for service kits per engine type.
63k... have shop replace tranny mount and possibly your engine mounts too.

Many of these will be the same manufacturer that makes the MB branded fluid. This will save you a ton of money.
Owners manual is your best bet for fluid capacities.

Yes, any oil or fluid can be used as long as it meets the manufacturer's specs .I prefer OEM
