On a side note, called the dealership where I bought my SLK new and traded in an immaculate GLK for a pittance, and the counter guy, when I asked for part #'s, scrambled the last three digits. He chuckled when I told him his numbers don't match any of those that my StarTek subscription shows. Hope karma catches up with him someday and he looses use of his reverse gear. ;-)

Thought to update this thread so someone doesn't waste time trying to figure this out...
Earlier this year, spec was MB236.16. But for some unknown reason MB replaced that spec with MB236.17.
On the BEVO site, the MB236.16 spec sheets is no longer available. WIS references MB236.17 for the 725 tranny. The oil part numbers between the two BEVO specs are also difference. Currently EPC it doesn't list the new number. I'm sure they will fix that soon enough. Found lots of misleading stuff in EPC so I don't look at it as being at all authoritative.
I'm planning to do my fill with the MB 5 liter jug I picked up that is marked as MB236.16.
On the BEVO site - you can look up MB231.0 and search for MB236.16 within that doc and find:
Automatic transmission fluids (ATF), sheet 236.16, this sheet has been replaced by sheet 236.17. Any remaining sheets can be used up.
I'm taking this to mean you can use the new old stock (NOS) fluid as well :-)
If you come across this and need copies of the two 725 WIS fill docs (pre and post 2015 725's), send me a PM. Doubt anyone else is needing to do a fluid replacement anytime soon. I had a damaged oil cooler that needed replacing and needed to top off before putting ride back into daily driver mode. If were having a shop do the work, they won't bother no matter what BS they tell you.
