Fluid Specification

722.9: MB 236.14 9G-Tronic: MB 236.15 Change every 40,000 miles

Verify exact spec on the dipstick label or owner's manual before fill. Recommended change interval: every 60,000 miles for normal driving, 30,000 miles under severe service (towing, stop-and-go, hot climates). Pan service typically takes 6 - 8 quarts; a full fluid exchange takes 10 - 14 quarts depending on cooler-line capacity.

Common Repair Conversations

What We Help You Sort Out

Every vehicle needs diagnosis before anyone can promise a repair path. These are the situations we help organize before you decide what to do next.

Slipping or delayed engagement

Tell us when it happens, whether reverse still works, and if warning lights are on. A scan and fluid check come before guessing at a rebuild.

Leaks, burning smell, or overheating

Fluid condition, leak location, and driving distance matter. If the vehicle is slipping badly or overheating, towing may be the safer next step.

Rebuild, replacement, or targeted repair

A failed solenoid, valve body, converter, or internal clutch problem can lead to very different repair paths. The goal is a clear diagnosis and written estimate.
