Has anyone used the new MB tranny fluid for their change? Its a few bucks cheaper per liter than the old fluid and its supposed to have improved properties.
So did you?
the mystery continues
I just had my trans oil changed and the mechanic put in the new fluid....Oh yeah, I can feel smoother shifts already!!
j/k I really can't feel the difference..

Let me revise my question. Has anyone used it and is experiencing performance issues?

No I haven't tried the new MB stuff.
But I have recently drained the old Merc fluid out of my C36 722.328 auto and replaced it with fully synthetic Castrol Transmax Z.
I can certainly feel the difference with quicker smoother changes!
There are a number of really excellent auto fluid options. If you are in doubt as to what you should use, then it maybe advisable to stick with the latest MB recommendations.

states:
I had a long discussion with one of the engineers at MotherShip Montvale, who confirmed that the use of the "New" fluid- A.001.989.45.03.10 (which is also only 1/2 the cost of the "old" fluid A.001.989.21.03.10) IS ALLOWED!!
