Transmision fluid & filter change. Need a lot of help.

Car: 2014 ML 350 BT
Mileage: 55K

Im thinking to do transmission fluid and filter change, never done this before on any car.

Please help me find the video or write up on how to perform this.
Also can someone list of parts I need?
Gasket , Filter and fluid.
How much fluid do I need?
Which dipstick is the right one for my car?
Amazon Amazon

And most important question: should I do it or better to take to a dealer?

Thank you all in advance.

You own a very nice MB that must be maintained--that's a cost of ownership and if you don't have the knowledge\tools or experience go to someone who does.


Alternatively get off the rug and google your specific model there are thousands posts on the subject!

Thank you Plutoe, problem is I'm not sure if I can trust dealer or any indy shops unless I can see all what they doing with my car.

I did more research, decided to take my chance and take it to a dealer. Looks like its more complicated than I thought.

Thank you.

I have 55K miles on it, by the book its required to change oil and filter at 70K, but I did look around and what I found that is much better to do every 40K if plan is to keep the car for a long time.

All MB service recommendations, like oil change every 10K, engine air filter every 40K must be divided by 2, especially with diesel engines, again if the plan is to keep the car.
