Changing Transmission Fluid

2010 GLK 350

I bought an Service Kit to change my ATF fluid.
9 qt Automatic Transmission Fluid 134
Torque Converter Drain Plug And Sealing Washer.
Transmission Oil Pan Drain Plug Sealing Washer.
Automatic Transmission Fluid Filter.
Automatic Transmission Pan Gasket.

I checked the engine bay today and is there NO

fill tube for the Transmission Fluid, I search the entire engine bay...

Lucky I checked before draining the fluid. Do i need to pump the new fluid via the drain plug?

This is definitelly not DIY job! What I know, workshops do this with special tool - pump, they pump the fluid under pressure from the bottom of the car (probably through the drain plug)...

I believe most cars require filling through the dipstick hole...

this is what you'll need...

Lots of us do this job ourselves. I did it several times on my CLK and am now about to do it again on my E class.

There's a special tool available to refill via the drain plug:

Don't thank me...I got it from somebody else in the forums.
