Hi everyone..
Car is C270 CDI (2003)..
About 2 months ago I had the ATF fluid and filter changed by a MB main dealership..
Yesterday I at last took delivery of the MB "special secret exclusive" Dip Stick..
Anyway I went on a 20 mile run to get the car to full working temp then left the engine ticking over with it in "Park" and checked the fluis level..
It is about half an inch above the "Max" mark on the dipstick?
S my questions are:
1. How critical is it that the fluis be exact?
2. If it is critical then why the hell have MB put too much in ???
3. Would you advise I suck some out??
Thanks in advance for any thoughts / replies.
