I have about 36K miles on my 2009 SL63 and would like to change the transmission fluid.

Is it a pretty straight forward procedure on the SL63? Does the pan need to be dropped or is it just a quick drain/fill? What kind of fluid does the car require and how much does it take?

If anyone has access to a service manual, I'd greatly appreciate some instructions

Would it be worthwhile to change out the transmission mount while I'm in there as well? I think it's only about $50.

Reviving this thread... i'm looking to do a transmission fluid soon too. Ive done drain and fill on other cars (economy Japanese), would this car be similar?

The factory procedure is covered on here many times with multiple walkthroughs. The service involves dropping the pan to replace the filter, and requires a special filler tool as it is filled from the bottom and level adjusted by the overflow method. It's not difficult and can surely be a DIY thing, but it's not as simple as many cars.
