DIY Transmission oil and filter 1999 C280

Could you please help me, I'm going to change my transmission oil and filter probably gasket as well for my 1999 c280. I've done it on a few automatic cars, is it the same on Mercedes? I noticed I don't have a dipstick and at the stealership they told me it'll be like 70 bucks. How much oil do I sip?

Depends on how much of a change you do differing by procedure how much fluid you will get out and put back in, fresh.

On 722.6 transmissions it is usually a good idea to change the pilot bushing as well. They always leak, and the oil can travel up the harness and cause all sorts of problems.
