Service manual is available here: https://handbook.w116.org Trans fluid change should be about the same procedure as the 300D 2.5, just easier to work on the W116 since things aren't so tight. Use Febi 08971 ATF. Same for the power steering. Good luck! Jaime On Fri, Dec 10, 2021 at 2:18 PM

I put Dex III (and a new filter) in the steering reservoir of my 1979 SD when I bought it. I believe (but didn't double check) this is the filter. https://www.amazon.com/Mann-Filter-H-85-MANN-FILTER/dp/B002528YEU/ ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list

As I recall the 722.3/4 takes about 8 quarts, give or take a few, for a full drain/refill. I second Jaime's recommendation for the Febi fluid. FCP Euro often has specials on it, it's not expensive. -D From: Mercedes on behalf of Craig via Mercedes Sent:
