What E-class do I have (7G or 7G+) and when do I need an ATF?

[benjaminD]

Hi folks,

I am still newish here and need a little help. I'm lost in figuring out what eclass I have and when I need to go in for an ATF change.

The Datacard is attached. Thanks to @AMGeed for finding it!

What is the difference between the 7G & 7G+ when it comes to gearbox oil changes?

I massively appreciate all the help I get here!

Cheers,

Ben.

5 years or 75,500 miles. Whichever comes first!

Have a read of this thread Ben.....then prepare to be even more confused
W212 7G/7G plus identification

Hmmm, that is odd as 'I think' in the service booklet I saw it say 40K miles which I am going to be at soon! I wish I knew if I had the 7g or 7g+ and if this made a difference to servicing the autobox.

As yours is a 4 cylinder diesel, if it has the gear lever on the steering column, it is 7G+. If the gear lever is on the floor between the front seats, then it’s a 7G.

Confusion is rife !

Stop - start is 7g+ and both are
5 years / 77, 500 with 236.15 ATF .

Ok wicked it seems I do have the 7g+ which is good for servicing

My transmission number is 722908 06 064453 which is different to the number you quoted, is that still ok?

So now I know that I do have the 7G + does anyone know what oil is used for auto transmission? I would like to know as I am using an independent garage and want to make sure they know the oil they should be using.

I know I have a little time before this needs doing but want to be prepared for it.

Cheers,

Ben.

If you are getting an indy to change the fluid when the time comes, why not call MB Grangemouth beforehand with your Reg/Vin #, remind them you have a 7G+ transmission, and get them to provide the ATF.
This is the stuff if you have stop start 7G+.

Clearly I need to read better.... Thanks!

No problem.

Sometimes searching on the fluid specification number can help bring up a choice of suppliers. As long as the fluid meets that specification it is fine to use, after all MB do not make oils etc
