MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 289 Fluid and Filter Changes Automatic transmission fluid and filter should be changed at 80,000 mi (129 000 km). The fluid is then filled for life. NOTE: Refer to Section 8 of this manual for Maintenance Schedules. Manual Transmission Selection of Lubricant No fluid service is required. Use only fluid approved to MB 236.2. SAE 5W-20 engine oil, meeting API SL or GF-3, may be substituted. Refer to the Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine Parts section for the correct fluid type. Fluid Level Check Check the fluid level by removing the fill plug. The fluid level should be between the bottom of the fill hole and a point not more than 3/16 in (4.76 mm) below the bottom of the hole. CAUTION! Do not overfill. Dirt and water in the transmission can cause serious damage. To prevent dirt and water from entering the transmission after checking or replenishing fluid, make certain that the dipstick cap is seated properly. Add fluid, if necessary, to maintain the proper level. 7
