Has anybody actually used Mobil 1 synthetic ATF in an MB manual trans? I tried it once and within a couple weeks there was a terrible squealing. My Indy replaced the trans and the driveshaft bearing. Ah ha! Says I, it wasn't the trans but that pesky bearing after all, but still theres a little lingering doubt in my mind.
That and one of the guys I work with says Mobil 1 ATF is contraindicated for
manual transmissions. I find this suspect but its something I've heard.
Mobil 1 ATF is the optimal fluid for Mercedes 716/717 transmissions in
MY opinion. I've been using it for more than 7-8 years in several
different transmission. Shifts more smoothly than ANYTHING else I've
ever tried and is WONDERFUL in really cold weather.
