Hi guys, I have a 2008 R320 with about 110k miles.
A few days ago I finally replaced the transfer case chain (the old one was streched), and I filled it up with an automatic transmission fluid (Petronas Tutela Transmission Gi/A, red colour).
However, now I am wondering whether I made the right choice. Is that fluid ok, or should have I used a different type? I could still replace it, of course, but I would like to know your opinion whether is worth to change it or if that's an ok choice.
Also, it only got around half liter of fluid, is that normal?
Thanks.

Contact mb c service and ask what colour was old oil. I stand to be corrected but I would have thought transfer case was NOT any kind of atf. Tho I stand to be corrected...

It’s ATF, and it doesn’t need to be as high a quality as the main transmission. What you have used will be fine. It doesn’t hold a lot at all.

Quite shocked at that. Anyway. I corrected.
