220 MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE CAUTION! Do not allow petroleum-based fluid to contaminate the brake fluid as seal damage will result! Automatic Transmission The fluid in the automatic transmission should be changed at 80,000 miles (129,000 km), along with the transmission fluid filter. After that, the transmission fluid is filled for life. Selection of Lubricant It is important that the proper lubricant is used in the transmission to assure optimum transmission performance. Use only ATF approved to MB 236.10, MB 236.12. Synthetic Dexron III Automatic Transmission Fluid may be substituted. Refer to the Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts section for the correct fluid type. It is important that the transmission fluid be maintained at the prescribed level using the recommended fluid. CAUTION! Using a transmission fluid other than the fluid recommended by DaimlerChrysler Corporation may cause deterioration in transmission shift quality and/or torque converter shudder. Using a transmission fluid other than that recommended by the DaimlerChrysler Corporation will result in more frequent fluid and filter changes. Refer to the Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts section for correct fluid type. Fluid Level Check Regular automatic transmission fluid level checks and changes are not required. For this reason the dipstick is omitted. If you notice fluid loss or gear shift malfunction, have your authorized dealer check the transmission fluid level.
