[W126 Coupe] tranny fluid

[Mister McGoo]

Oh?  half a bath?  Look at it this way...  how often do you change your transmission fluid?  If you're only going to change half of the fluid at a time by not draining the converter (an exaggeration... you're changing considerably more than half), then change it twice as often, right?  But ALWAYS change your filter, OK? 
 
Let's not turn changing your transmission fluid into a religious experience.  We have read how to check the oil level every which way short of while driving at 50mph.  We have even heard that the dirt in your fluid might actually be the only thing that is holding your transmission together, ('specially if you drive a Volvo).
 
Advice:  Simply follow the Mercedes instructions.  If you don't do it yourself, take your car to a Mercedes specialist.  
OK?-Bellamy

Steve- I'd say amen to that.  Not draining the converter is like taking a 1/2 bath, or only draining half of your motor oil.Camran
