S450 (2019) Transmission fluid change
Some kits come with Revenol fluid or MB fluid, but seem quite pricy.
FCP showd "OM" on the Pentosin fluid.
Other kits have Lubri-Moly.
Some kits have aftermarket pan and filter. Thoughts?
Anyone have any negative experience with the lower cost fluids, or any hints or tips on the job?

Over several decades I've had good experience with factory filter/gasket and fluids from the approved list. I think Pentosin at one time was the OEM supplier for Mercedes, it even came in the same plastic liter bottles that Mercedes sells but with Pentosin branding on them. As long at the fluid is on the approved list it seems to work, at least for the last 35 years it has worked for me.
