Drain engine oil and tranny oil from engine, replace with correct amount of engine oil. Check on getting a Chilton or Haynes repair guide for your vehicle. This will help you better understand your vehicle.

Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day

If you don't have synthetic in it now I woundn't, because you can not get all the fluid out with a regular transmission fluid change. Your transmission holds 14 to 15 quarts and when they do a fluid and filter change they replace about 5 quarts from the system.

In order to check the fluid in the transmission you need the Mercedes Benz dip stick. It's a special tool needed for all the 722.6 transmissions. Best thing is probably to just stop by a Mercedes Independent shop where they can check it real quick. It uses a synthetic based fluid. I always go with the factory fluid.

5 quarts
