I have 2015 S550 4 matic. Need specs for proper lube and instructions for fluid change. Also is capacity abt 8 qts as my old 2011 was?

All those questions can be correctly posted when you post your VIN!

Nice Ride

Have you reviewed the process.... It is really a complex job, best left to a competent dealer. No dip stick, special tool to fill from drain plug, specific temperature to confirm fluid level.... etc..... Trust me, I looked into it. If you have a detailed procedure that a DIY'er can do, please post.

Thanks!

Also, found these notes in a similar search to trans with no dipstick.... Not worth the RISK....
ANOTHER *HUGE* CAVEAT!!- *DO NOT ATTEMPT THE "I'LL TAKE A LASER TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT OF THE PAN" TRICK TO GET THE OIL TEMPERATURE!!!" I have a nice, High-End Fluke Laser Thermometer, and what I was measuring at the Pan, and what STAR was Reporting??? It was OFF by a much as 10 C!!!! ***YOU MUST BE EXACTLY ON TARGET TEMP TO DO THIS JOB!!!***, and the Car must be **LEVEL**, so you will have to have it on 4 equal Ramps/Jack-Stands.

As you know, there is NO Dipstick to check the Fluid Level, and you "Pump" the Oil *UP* via the Drain-Hole. Instead, one needs to bring the oil Temp to a PRECISE temperature, and "Visually" evaluate the Flow of Oil out the Stand Pipe. What an IDIOTIC way to do an automotive job!!! My "moderate flow" or "Drip pattern" may be waaaay different than the next guy's interpretation. It's quite a "Joke" in my mind... BUT!! You must change the fluid in these boxes... so you're STUCK!!

Had no problem on last car but it was not 4 matic. I will review the procedure and see what I am getting myself into. As for getting the proper amount back in I precisely measured what I drained out and put exactly that much back in.. I made the adapter to put the fluid back in, no problem but this seems to have a few more steps in the procedure. Thanks so much for the PDFs on the proicedure..
