Hi
I've just purchased this old bus ... in very good condition though and 80,000 miles 'only'.
I'll be giving it a full service including a change of gearbox oil.
I have 10 litres of unused ATF from my previous BMW ownership days, sitting in my garage.
Spec is 'ATF 1375.4 Lifeguard 6'.
Can I use this in the E270 gearbox?
I know it specifies 236.14 (whatever that means?) for the Merc but I am assuming that as the Lifeguard 6 is a high spec ATF oil, it should be suitable as its a superior spec (and cost!) to 236.14 so I don't wish to waste it if at all possible
Any guidance appreciated.
