?'s for Trans fluid swap
I'm going to do a fluid/filter/conductor plate/connector change on my S65 and had some questions
-Which fluid? i searched and it seems there are different MB fluids
-Do i need the SDS to flash or load anything with the conductor plate swap?
-any other tips as well
thanks guys!

pentosin CH11S is the fluid to use, pln on replacing the leaking electrical connection ($20) and you will not need STAR or SDS or DAS for anything on a trany flush...You may need to purchase a shop dipstick to verify you have the same amount of fluid that was removed...check the level before (old fluid) and after a few das of driving. You will not be able to drain the torque converter...there is no drain there.
Drain/fill/drive/drain/fill until you consume about 10 Liters of the fluid.

i thought i was reading that wrong. lol
i have seen the mb fluid on ebay and saw different kinds, is one better?
for the flush, i was going to do the "disconnect the cooler line" technique as i'm going to do the radiator change at the same time.
its gonna be a long day in the garage:
-oil and filter change
-cabin filters
-air filters
-trans service with conductor plate and connector
-radiator swap
figure i'm saving myself like $1k in labor

if you have some type of pump to flush the fluid with you will probably be doing a better job than dropping the pan...what about the AT filter in the pan?
A dealer AT flush is over $400..I checked prior to doing mine.
I think you need the MB tranny fluid for the 722 type transmissions, but I am unsure...the threads on this board will state the correct transmission for these AMG cars.
