ATF For 9G-Tronic Transmission

[Woodleigh]

Hi all, I just checked the spec for my 9G-Tronic gearbox and according to Bevo the spec for the ATF is MB 236.17.

It looks like RAVENOL ATF M 9-G Serie is available in the UK; however, I would prefer the Fuchs Titan ATF 9134 FE.

I have tried Opie Oil but they don’t stock it; does anybody know where I might get some?

It’s £302 on eBay for Fuchs 20L from Germany
Must be cheaper from MB

Yes 10 ltrs should do the trick, assuming that the TC can be drained via drain plug, which more than likely it can be, but he may need another litre or two if he is going to pump out the radiator and lines.

I will be changing the filter so transmission pan off.

£302.......WOW !!! 20 ltrs Fuchs Titan ATF 7134 FE for €133 back in August for my 722.9 trans, MB Spec 236.15 . So enough for the planned change, and a 2nd change (might have to add a litre or two when the time comes.. ) The ATF 7134 FE that I got is blue in color, but I guess that your trans takes the same oil?

Yes Mike, thats all part of it, and you can get a kit which will include the filter, gasket, sump studs, oil level pipe, and new stud for the TC. But there is also a transmission cooling radiator, with two pipes running from it ( outlet and return) and that will hold at least 1 or 1.5 ltres. The problem is that if you want to do a 100%, this will have to be drained too. And the best way to do his to disconnect the return pipe, attache a plastic pipe on to it, and put the the end into a plastic container so you can monitor the drained oil. So basically, pump out 2 litres of "old" fluid, replace it with new fluid, repeat until the new oil can be seen coming out. This is a very basic outline of what has to be done, but if you want a more detailed description, let me know, and I'll try to help, OK ?

That's good information Jim many thanks for that, much appreciated.

Mike, one of the things I checked with dealer when taking out my service plan, was that transmission fluid change was included whenever it is due on my W205. But then, I only have a 7-speed box

Ian, my service plan ran out last May and because of the low mileage the ATF hasn't been changed. Furthermore because I am not entirely satisfied with MB Main Dealer servicing I didn't renew the plan so I will be doing Engine oil changes, etc myself and for anything else the vehicle will be going to an indie.
