E220CDI W211 Change Auto Transmission Fluid?

[Duncan Beaumont]

My E220CDI had the auto transmission fluid changed at 44,000 miles. It has now done 89,000 miles. The next service is a few months away, should I have the fluid changed again, or is it a once only thing? I am planning to keep the car long term.

I would change it yes. I will when mine reaches the same point.

How many litres does it take?

I've changed mine twice - once when I bought it and again 40k later. If I still have it at 40k after the last change - I'll do it again.

No idea chap - I don't do the flushes myself!

Someone who knows will be posting this up shortly I imagine though...

If it's a 5 speed, 722.6 code, fluid vol. needed depends how long / well it's drained.
Capacity c. 7.5L. A change may take 6.5L with the TC drained properly.
