S430 722.632 Transmission Fluid change, flush W220
Hello,
I am getting ready to change the transmission fluid on my 2000 S430 124K miles with 722.632 transmission. Already purchased genuine filter, pan gasket and Febi 236.10 fluid ($10.40L). Having 2nd thoughts about the fluid after reading the post by loubapache, the MB 722.6 transmission FAQ
According to the post the Febi fluid 236.10 is not on MB approved fluid list and MB sheet 236.12 can be used on 722.632 5 sp transmission. The reason I purchased Febi is because MB 236.10 was out of stock and Febi was cheaper.
Here are some questions:
1. Can I use the latest MB 632.14 sheet and will there be benefits over the 236.10 and 12?
2. Should I not use Febi if I can use MB 236.12 or 14?
3. I understand that, when just changing the fluid through the drain plug, I will be getting about 4Liters out and knowing that I have 236.10 (I am assuming this since this will be the first time the fluid is being changed), is ok to fill with a different spec. fluid ie. 236.12, 14 or Febi?
3. If I am recommended to use the either of the MB fluid, can I use the febi fluid (since I already have it)for flushing purposes? Drain plug, add 4liters of Febi first and using the Yumling's post to flush with MB 236.1x fluid?
Thanks for help!
