My newest star car is 2002, and I recall there being a big push in the early 00 to get folks to only put M1 in the engine and trans. Some whooey about sealed for life, but that it was good for the old cars too. I found that it really is good for the old cars, as, even the manual four speed loved the stuff and shifted tighter after a few k on the clock. The R107 has gotten much better using M1, with crisp, yet smooth gear changes instead of the delay and clunk from just three k on the juice.
The 300SE has a magic transmission with it, from the burnt out slush box it came with. Swapped in a used with 109k in place of the dead 203k it came with. M1 has it shifting almost like a new car. clay On Aug 23, 2014, at 7:56 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: > clay via Mercedes wrote: >> I used it with no issue in the e300d, or any other Benz from 1972-2002 > > I thought the electronic five speeds from about 1997-up required the special > juice? > Two years ago, when I bought the 1999 wagon, you could still get a case of > Shell 134 from Ryder Fleet for a lot less than M1 Dexron.
