Anyone here did their own transmission fluid replacement? Dealer wants $572 !!!!!!!!
Anyone here did their own transmission fluid replacement ? How difficult is this? does the car have to be level for this? otherwise I need 2 lifts.
Called some local shops and everyone says NO, Anyone in Northwest chicago suburbs that you can recommend ?
Thank you
Andrew

Trans fluid drains and fills from same hole ... special tool obviously required
Amount to use depends on temperature, so need temp measuring tool, too.

An amazing dude with the handle of G-AMG posted a photo DIY for your transmission that he performed on his E350. You can get an idea of what is involved here;

If you're looking for the fluid, try a Shell distributor. They should have Shell ATF 134 FE for around $65 for a case of 12 quarts.

I have a 2007 and my research here showed I needed ATF134...did my flush for $65 (Fluid) and $30 (filter gasket combo). There are videos and instructions here - just search and you will find what you need to do it.

Trans service is easy to do.... On a hoist.
Trans pan has a drain plug. Fill via the dipstick. Get a long skinny funnel for it.
I change my ATF every 10,000 miles. The transmission is more sensitive about fluid then seems possible.
Replace the filter every other ATF fluid change.
