Mercedes E350 CDI W212 223 2012 - Auto gearbox oil change HOW? #

Posted by Colin Hedger on August 3, 2016, 12:33 pm

Year of Manufacture *: Dec 2012 reg
( Optional ) Engine Code or CC: W212 223 chassis code

Got this 350 CDI estate for service and needs the Auto transmission oil and filter changed.

I cant see the usual Merc dipstick with the tamper clip and there is no apparent means of topping up from underneath.

The drain plug looks too small for a snorkel tube.
Can anyone help me please?

Thanks

Colin.

You need to get the service tool dipstick from the dealer or other tool supplier. You fill it down the dipstick tube.
Done a few of these now and it normally takes about 3.5 to 4 litres.

Thanks Chris, but thats the point - there is no dipstick tube!

I have the older Merc dipstick tool and the red tamper clips , but there is nowhere to put it!

Hi Colin

there are a few choices from the details you give but Auto data has detailed instructions for the variants I looked at.

Also have a look at this link to MPM oils, look up the recommended auto trans fluid for you vehicle and you will ( in most cases) find link to a PDF download with detailed instructions.
