Transmission level check has to be performed with engine running. Also I read pan bolts are to be tightened to 6NM then turned 180 degrees. These are stretch bolts, therefore, they are not to be reused again.

Yes it sounds like the engine was not running when he disconnected hose. Then the transmission is not running and in park, a lot of fluid "dumps" back into the pan, so if that's the case, he drained way more fluid than he should have and the trans will be running low on fluid

Not sure if I would go for it myself. Because sometimes it is not enough just to change the oil, filter, and check the level at 45C. Sometimes Siemens/Continental TCU electronics do not like change of oil and then TCU needs to be reprogrammed. Re-marry. That is another level. In fact, my opinion is that not many mechanics in Australia are real experts in G7 722.9 transmission service and as a result, you end up with problems they create after transmission service. So, I fully understand your reasoning behind "I will o it myself". My advice to all MB owners with G7 722.9 is "not be afraid to ask who will work on your transmission and what are their CV. o not assume that because it is MB Service center they know."

I agree somewhat with your analysis. Changing the fluid (about 50% of it in these services) will result in a change in viscosity because less metal suspended in fluid…..this might affect the how the tcu responds Bc it has adapted over time to condition of fluid. So doing this service every 40-50k makes the difference in fluid characteristics less variant. Doing this once at 120k will surely give you problems. I always do a transmission reset (with gas pedal ) after And then it takes like 1000 miles or so to re adapt to new conditions …. Thanks for your comment👌🏻👍

You can drain the torque converter if you want to get extra 1/2-1 quart out of system 👌🏻

Great information and video. +8 for doing it on the floor. It's much easier to do on a lift. All this extra effort to check fluid level because a dipstick is too old fashioned. UGH!

I did my 09 E350 pretty much as you did. At 45c ( 113F) the fluid is warm. Just be careful of the hot exhaust. It took about 20 mins at idle to reach the temperature.. The oem flter from Mercedes ( filtran? material filters down to 50 microns whereas the Febi ( maybe that is the one in your kit? ) filter down to 80 microns. Will that make much of a difference? IDK. Cycling through the gears prior to draining the excess is a good thing also. Good job!!!

@supersabrosinho

Жыл бұрын

Yes it will. The filter's job is to both keep contaminants out of the trans as well as maintain a consistent volumetric flow rate. When you go higher in microns your flow rate also drops. Lots of people obsess over microns thinking higher is better. NO. Keep the OEM spec for lasting performance
