Just changed the atf fluid on my w210.
I drained the sump with the car tilted back over night, removed the sump and cleaned it and changed the filter and gasket.
I then reattatched and put in 3l of new fluid and luckily stopped there check what i should be doing.
i didnt drain the torque converter, realise maybe i should have but to be frank i was getting a bit in over my head so decided to keep it simple (plus i forgot and i had cleaned myself up already ha). is this actually a problem?
I didnt have a dipstick and so refilled the emptied bottles with the old oil from the pan, it turns out it was exactly 3l, give or take resedue from spillage and cleaning the sump etc.
My question is is it safe to assume its at the right level now and can i drive it. i realise i should probably go to an indie or something and get it checked properly but am i ok for now.
I only used 3/6 of the bottles so id like to be done here and be able to return these remaining expensive mb bottles of atf! :lol:
cheers guys
