If you do not know what has been done at this point I would do everything which is change trans fluid, change oil and filter and a tune up which consists of changing plugs (12 of them).Use all MB OEM suggested materials, fluids and parts.You do not mention the year of your ML.

You should have a manual which gives the suggested fluids to use. Mobil 1 is preferred and for the correct grade look in your manual. Do not believe the "high mileage" Mobil 1 is amongst the approved oils.

You can use any oil you want ,recommend not wasting you re money on diesel engine oil,But Fully synthetic oil is always good for ML-320.
Yes it is necessary to change the auto trans filter after a 1-2 year.
Use 5/8" slim spark plug socket for regular plug socket from typical took kit is too fat.
the 17mm works like magic huh..........
