R129 Transmission Oil

[Hartzpartz]

Does anyone know how much oil the autobox (inc.torque convertor) holds on a 500SL?

Mine is a 1991 car with the 4 speed box.

I think these used Dextron II from new but my local Merc specialist has suggested Dextron III. He uses Castrol but I was considering using "Fuchs" oil as it seems to be Merc approved and is available at a good price from Unipart.

Thanks in advance.

Fuchs is a good choice and an upgrade from Dexron II to Dexron III is fine http://olyslager-lubricants.nl/fuchstest/FUCHS/Select.asp
THEY QUOTE A CAPACITY OF 7.7 Litres and the following AT fluids
TITAN ATF 3353
TITAN ATF 4000------*** dexron111
TITAN ATF 5000 SL--------synthetic I think?
