It is Tranny time - what ATF to use?

What type or brand on ATF do I use in my 2000 SLK 230? It is time to do it, and I do all the work myself, already have the tranny dip stick. What flavor should I use? Thanks in advance. Bobby

2007 GL450 2005 C55 2002 C32 sold 2001 ML320 sold
Anything that meets 236.14.

Shell/Pennzoil ATF 134
Fuchs 4134
Mobil 134
MB Transmission fluid from dealer.

You can also use the 236.12 or 236.10 spec fluids in the 722.6 5 speed, but the latest backwards compatible fluid is the above. May get better milegae also...

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
Also

valvoline maxlife
Be sure to replace the filter
www.autohausaz.com has them and the gasket
Temperature is critical when refilling
and working is a dust free dirt free area when the trans is opened up is more than critical.
722.6 fluid diy is on www.benzworld.org w210 section
