[bruces670]

is there anybody that can confirm what spec oil will go in my auto gearbox? Thanks

If it's the 722.6, 5 speed, 236.14.

Hi,

Even if it is a 722.9 7 speed it will also be spec 236.14 (this is red)

The later 722.9 gearboxes (called the 7G+) changed to a spec 236.15 (a blue/green colour). This was introduced in late 2010 with the move to with stop/start but (AFAIK) some cars without stop/start had this auto box too.
The two specs of ATF aren't miscible and the 236.15 shouldn't be used in the earlier box. Anyway, the 236.15 is more expensive.

This is what I use in my 7g (and 5g) . Excellent stuff , don't quote me , but I believe MB use it as factory fill in the gearboxes

Hi,

Yes, but ... it says 'complies to the specification of'. That isn't the same as Approved by MB.

Fuchs is MB approval 236.14 MB spec , I just checked on Opie oils website (and the back of my Atf4134 tub)

Way outside my comfort level . What mileage have you got ?

 

[bruces670]

I’m on 150k miles,I’ve been a mechanic for nearly 30 years off and on,plus I’m not paying 1500 to have it replaced

What did you use as a one way valve to put the oil in?

Check out my diy link above buddy , it's all there , maybe in another 30 years I can call myself a mechanic

How important is it that you monitor the gearbox temp?

 

[AMGeed]

^ Very. You'll get a different reading if the ATF isn't up to temperature when measured (80C IIRC).

Is the plastic level indicator mounted on the filter?
