so my dad being the damn busy body that he is decided to attempt to change the transmission fluid on our r350. after waking me up prematurely like every morning with something new that he manages to break on one of our cars i find out that its damn near impossible to even change the transmission fluid on your own.. problem is he already drained the fluid and now we don't have a way of putting it back in so we can take it to the dealer. Is there a top fillport located somewhere on the car or is the only way to pump it back up through the drain?

Geeze...I could *very well* be wrong but what I've read indicatates that transmission fluid changes are NOT a DIY project on current day Benzes.You might want to contact a dealer and ask for input or prepare to call a tow truck.Hopefully a dealer's service dept can give you better news than that.

And it sounds like your father needs a good scolding!

The linked thread above probably explains it, but the transmission fluid is refilled the same place it's drained, i.e. through the drain plug hole. It takes a special tool.

Have the vehicle taken to dealer on a rollback.
