Mercedes w203 Automatic Transmission Fluid Change 722.6

You will find all the videos I made about this Mercedes w203 in a Playlist :

The automatic transmission fluid / oil in the 722.6 is suposed to by serviced only by Mercedes Benz . However , if you want to prolong the life of your transmission and save some money you can do it yourself . The job is very similar with an oil change and with some tips from this video you will be able to do this by yourself . In a dealership a fluid flush will cost around 400 euros ( at least where I live ) So , good luck in DIY yours !

What a pro! I will share with my mechanic to watch for pointers. Excellent description- almost feel "I' personally could perform this, but I am not very handy, to be honest, but this is a great video to see the challenges that can occur- the need to drill a hole, etc. Makes the task less intimidating. but I can see it is far from a 5 minute job!

Good video, but I’m going to have to disagree with what you said in the beginning. I have a w203 c320 which had 180, 000 kms on the probably original fluid. I checked with the dipstick and before the change it was very dark and green, however the transmission still preformed fairly well and doing the fluid change didn’t harm it at all and only made the shift’s smoother. I recommend changing your fluid even if it’s dark and old. New fluid is never bad for a transmission.

The way I do it I have a Toyota Sequoia 4.7 V8 automatic transmission with no dipstick to check the levels i just let it over night then in the morning take out the drin plug then what's comes out I measure what's comes out I never needed to check temperature I already Done it twice never had any problems with my transmission I have 271.578 miles on it transmission still shifts Smoothly. No need to check temperature.

Thanks for the video. Very informative and easy to understand.

Excellent, another helpful video. Good tips about checking all the bolts can be loosened first. I wouldn't have thought of that. Thanks mate👍

great video.. question, how to open the tube cap with the red clip still intact? I tried to push it while pulling out the cap but doesn't work? should I remove the red clip using a flathead screwdriver before pulling out the black cap? thank you

You forgot to replace pilot bushing so you can have a piece of mind just in casa oil gets into the electronic conector.

First of all sometimes changing the fluid cand resolve the problem with gearbox beying stuck in a gear or remaining in protection mode(limp mode),
and 2- you have remaining fluid in the torque converter, about 2 Very important to check if you have a drain screw in the torque converter!!!

Excellent presentation.
Short and simple.

[blackcoder]

You also could've taken a mini torch and heated the bolt and wait for it to cool....

Heat will expand the bolt and the cooling will crack the rust

Very informative video. Next time you have the sump off a transmission, could you take a pic of where the dipstick enter's the sump? Reason for asking is that I have heard that the reason that there is a diamond shaped stop on the plastic part of the dipstick ( measuring part) as this "Diamond" stops the stick at the correct point for measuring the fluid level ? So it's immaterial if the dipstick used is too long, as it's the measuring tip which counts.
Thanks, and keep up the Good Work !!!

I don't understand why not drill the drain plug out, or don't drill anything remove all the bolts from the pan except the 2 in the back then loosen them and tilt the pan forward to drain

Where did you buy the oil dipstick? How many centimeters measures the tip? Thanks a lot! Love your videos, keep it up!

You should've tried using WD-40 penetration fluid before drilling a hole. 😳
