S500 Tranny Fluid

I want to avoid the tranny failure people have talked about and want to drain and fill the AT fluid in my 2000 S500 as I am approaching 47k miles. Can someone tell me the capacity of the transmission system and aproximately how much will drain out in a regular drain and fill? I'm getting ready to order some of the fluid online and don't want to be caught short... Thanks.

I saw that post. So the S500 and S430 have same/similar tranny? Does anyone know the total ATF capacity of these trannies? Thanks.

Go to mercedes web site

http://www.mbusa.com/brand/index.jsp

Register your car and download your owners manual.

It should be about 9.6 U.S. quarts.

You better look into that my C43 was about 11qts. with torque convertor and I think my trans is from an 'S' - I could be wrong, please verify your capacity though, it sounds low.
