Moin from Hamburg! As quite a MB newcomer I was quite surprised that the friendly around the corner offered me the change of the automatic oil for my 89er 500 SE at a great price. However, I was even more surprised than on the bill only 5.5 l ATF – ÖL appeared. According to my MB original manual, however, the change should replace 7.7 l ATF oil. After several queries, also with the workshop master, it was insisted that 5.5 l are correct and enough. Finally, the oil level was checked, and found sufficient. More oil was damaged the transmission… and so on and so on…. Now the question of all questions: What’s right now? The manual or the workshop master? What happens if the manual is right and the automatic is destroyed? Greeting!
