Can someone provide link to transmission fluid change DIY for W213 E63S?
I couldn't find here on mbworld, other than transmission for non AMG W213s.
thanks in advance.

Here is the list of service parts needed for the transmission service:

Transmission Service (30K miles required) Oil flush and change
Oil Pan
Screws (10)
10 quarts Transmission Fluid

This is a video of changing the fluid on on 9-G transmission which is a similar process.

You Tube

Are you certain that you want to change this yourself?

Thanks for the video. I think this is for non AMG though. I want to make sure non AMG and E63S process is the same. Waiting for @konigstiger to chime in lol.
I already bought the kit from FCP euro, so mind as well give it a try. Doesnt seems to be too complicated. Just drain, replace and refill.

Last I checked, @konigstiger hasn't been active on the forums in many months. I'm hoping he's alright.

Yes, the procedure is the same, just 10 quarts of transmission oil for the E63S transmission vs. the 5 quarts of transmission oil shown in the video. The reason for double the oil is that the torque convertor wasn't drained for the service whereas the transmission in the E63S is a wet-clutch hence more volume. I assume you already have a proper oil pump to refill the transmission after reassembling the new oil pan. The kit is missing the removal tool which is used to turn the sealing plug and the oil fill adapter. Those were called out in the video as well as the part number.

Not sure why you would want to do this yourself and not have a service shop execute the service.

Im pretty handy and also enjoy working on my cars myself and learn how things operate. I just picked up a preowned G550 as my DD, so I will be putting this car away for the winter, and weekdays, which gives me plenty of time to mess around with.

Yes i do have air pump to fill the fluid, and the adjusting/drain tools.
quick question,
So my other mercedes with torque converter, W207 E350 coupe, I had to drain alot from torque converter by removing the plug, but this car doesnt have one. So does the pan actually hold all 10 Liters?
can you elaborate your previous comment in more detail?

HBerman

I would not think so. The wet clutch would be holding a significant amount of fluid. The pan is too shallow to hold 10 quarts IMO.

Question what recourse tells you that the trans service is due at 30,000 miles?
