ML270 diesel gearbox

Hi,
My auto gearbox has been leaking, both from the electrical wiring seals and the lower pan. So I need to know the correct amount to refill the gearbox and the torque converter. Also what spec fluid to buy. Any info would be appreciated

If you buy 8L that should do it , I think it’s about 7L total with the TC,sump and oil cooler.
You will need the sump filter as well

Thanks for the info. As a matter of interest I want to check it manually. Can the dipstick tube which is sealed be used with a normal dipstick? I see there are some on the internet but unsure if any would fit my vehicle.

They are a standard size dipstick for different MB vehicles , they work well .
