Another question. Does anyone know if there is a dipstick hole on this version of the engine for the transmission?

There is no dipstick hole in any of the 7G gearboxes.

oil is filled through the drain hole in the bottom of the pan, I know, stupid idea.

So if one was to do it himself you would need to buy a device to pump in the oil. What is this device?

So how do you check the color / smell of the oil? This is insane no?

Stupid Question: Where are the numbers from?

 

[jon.english68]

I work for a Transmission parts supplier and we have access to a Merc parts catalogue.
