Hi all
Sorry if this is a stupid question but i've been struggling to find an answer
Is changing the automatic gearbox oil/filter part of the normal main dealer service schedule?
I've just put down a deposit on a 2011 E350 CDI with full MB service history and i'm wondering if I need to prepare to do it. Car is currently on 89k and had its last service at an MB main dealer at 84k (from memory). But the service history printout didn't mention anything about it, or at least not that I could see.
I have a bit of experience with this topic as my other car is a 2000 Audi S6 with a ZF autobox, Audi said that the transmission was "sealed for life", but after many failures ZF themselves said it needed servicing, and provide a kit to do so, so I replaced the fluid and filter in that as it had done about 40000 miles since being rebuilt, to try to prevent any expensive future issues!
Thanks in advance
