Auto fluid change

[kilgour5173]

Hi
I have just bought a 1999 w202, 220 cdi c class estate sport it has 5 speed box 722.6, it has covered 205,000 miles and to my knowledge (looking at the service history) the ATF has not been changed is it sealed for life or should i replace the fluid?
What fluid should i use? (dexron111?)
the gear change is very smooth with no problems as yet i am just worried about the miles it has done. has any one out there used Millers ATF??

also i have some rost on the body will this be covered on the warranty?
there is a semi-full merc history.
thanks steve

Hi you say
is it sealed for life, Merc say yes but we say no 50,000 miles
should i replace the fluid, yes ASAP
What fluid should i use, genuine Merc fluid
the gear change is very smooth, I think some one beat you to the fluid change
