gearbox oil replacment

[ed325i]

Is changing the auto box oil and filter a DIY job ?
Is there a guide to changing it ?
Its on a c240 sport 1999

Thanks Ed

There's a guide on the 5 speed auto box (722 model I think) in the DIY section.

Of course that's assuming that yours is the same style gearbox.
Post up te first six numbers of the VIN please.
