MAINTAINING YOUR VEHICLE 199 Use brake fluid approved to MB 331.0, or a DOT 4 brake fluid with: minimum dry boiling point (ERBP) 500°F, minimum wet boiling point (WERBP) 356°F, maximum viscosity 1500 mm2/s, conforming to FMVSS 116 and ISO 4925. 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. WARNING! Use of a brake fluid that may have a lower initial boiling point or unidentified as to specification, may result in sudden brake failure during hard prolonged braking. You could have an accident. 7 WARNING! Use only brake fluid that has been in a tightly closed container to avoid contamination from foreign matter. Use of contaminated fluid may result in reduced brake performance or a sudden brake failure. You could have an accident.
