Automatic transmission oil for Mercedes C 200 CDI

I don't know why they did this, But other manufacturers are going this way. The consumer can't check the transmission fluid. They have to go to a shop. You can get the stick online. Yours at operating temps are 16 to 17, or 160 to 170, depending on the stack you get. The stick is cable with a metal piece on the end. Push it down until it bottoms out. If you shove it to far/ force it. You have to remove the oil pan to get it out.

A failed transmission component or a loss of fluid pressure due to a leak or worn parts.

Hi, you should use the "special" MB fluid, 8 liters is required.

Your owners manual will tell you, if you don't have one call your local MB dealer service dept and they will tell you.
