Where to find Transmission Fluid Change DIY

Is there a DIY for a 2013 ML Transmision Fluid change?
Search brings up nothing.

Thanks!

I used this video from an Aussie(Scott) to change out my 4matic GLK a few years back. Worked very well! My ML is not due yet, and before I do, I would verify which tranny oil MB used. There was quite the headache in figuring out which oil was in the GLK as MB had changed it up a few times in my given year(2011). They color code(or used to) their tranny oil. Other than that go slow, be thorough, and the video works very well. good luck!

Take your Vin. No. in to the Dealer and get the correct Trans Fluid Filter and Gasket.... Don't go cheap on this!
A Flush here in Tampa at the Dealership, (and he told me it was the full flush, Converter and all, filter and gasket) is $850.00 plus tax.....
You can afford to buy the genuine filters and fluids.....and I think new pan bolts....not sure, but there are some great instructionals on the forums....I'm about due...
I'll only do the filter ,gasket and the 5 qt. method....and then do it every year or two.................................2013 ML 350 4matic 66K

850?!

Whaaah

I paid 4-500 recently for my gl...at the dealership.

Call around! Dealerships can be more competitive than you think.


Also if you diy you'll need something to push the fluid in, then a temp gauge to know when to close the fill tube when the trans heats up
