2010 Mercedes C300 4matic transmission oil and filter replacement

How to replace the filter on trans fluid on this car is very different so check it out!!

[@colinaglae2605]

Thanx Maic for the brilliant informative video. Quite a bit of work involved!!

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

Colin Aglae thank you

[@baxrok2.]

I've never seen this method used before. Very strange. Obviously, you've done it many times and have all the right tools. Well done and thanks!

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

Baxrok2 thank you!!

[@melvinjohnson7033]

Becoming std on cars w/o a transmission dipstick. Even new Toyotas use this method.

[@TehArtfulDodger]

Thanks for taking the time to share this great information, it is very helpful

[@mckoylach1622]

Always learn something new. It’s a Mercedes,I guess....thanks

[@issanesheiwat1396]

Could’ve knocked off the overflow pipe to let the fluid flow out before taking out the oil pan, but that’s alright.. thanks for the video!

[@meazz1]

Very detailed, like it as it shows how to as you go, not scripted!!!

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

Thank you so much!!

[@Aardvark49]

You should have popped off the plastic overflow tube that's on top of the drain plug. That would've gotten most of the oil out of the pan. I'm also amazed when I see pro auto technicians not using safety glasses or gloves for this kind of work. Too important not to use them.

[@VictorSilva-rq4kz]

You are right, at time mark 7:36 he should have pushed in the drain tube.

[@lahotboy]

Thank you for a great video I did my transmission on yesterday! took my glk 4matic it to the dealer for an airbag recall they tried to charge me $700 for a transmission oil change and $1200 for front and rear brakes which I had already replaced myself two weeks ago. So dealership will try to get you. They just didn't know I was ASE Certified. I told my service writer they need to be ashamed of themselves lying about doing a 120 point inspection! That straight crap! Please if you find a good honest mechanic stick with them.

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

C Armani Trosclair so true! Dealers don’t care about people hard earn money! They want to make as much as possible from each ticket! All you are for them is a number!!

[@burleyray5186]

What kind of transmission fluid did u use

[@alexisacosta98]

How much did you spend it total Doing it you self?

[@chriskhalil8082]

Good job!! Thank u

[@AlenIsaac86]

Great video but I have question what about the fluid in the differential how do you drain it I mean the front differential

[@BUILTFORWAR1]

Great video

[@shadracha.4791]

Hi Bro. I really admired the way you did it. Please tell me how many litres did the transmission consumed afterwards or after draining the excess fluids?

[@RIchardDavidson007]

Nice video.

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

RIchard Davidson thank you

[@emeterioperez1514]

I have a question, under the car after the transmission fluid cover there is another screw where there is oil as well. what is it for?

[@markm-ci6rj]

Out of curiosity how log does it take, how much would it cost, how often does it need changing? Sister is thinking of buying a AMG, she was told it cost $500 just to change the auto transmission

[@ricardovillalba3326]

Is it the same for a 2013 c 300 4matic

[@gbonze1783]

Holy shit the front bumper is scraped up as bad as mine I love how the car especially the sport AMG package is lower to the ground like a sports cars should be but the front splitter on the bumper gets so scraped up when i pull out of the driveway but I literally don't park my car in the driveway anymore because of it

[@trailermovie1]

Hello am new here please I want to ask something, how many liters of transmission should I put inside the gearbox cause I don't have that pump

[@LucasFromGuam]

how many quarts? and what kind of fluid? pentosin?

[@EXOVCDS]

Similar to VW... good to know. We also have a mityvac pump & adapter kt.

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

Thomas EXOVCDS very good kit.

[@alexisacosta98]

Is it the same method with a 2014 c300

[@ucscmike]

Pan bolts are supposed to be torqued to 4nM + 180 deg.

[@ir_metal1779]

ucscmike also supposed to tighten star pattern. This guy didn’t

[@druegaugert8915]

What website is this I want to read it and take a look at the diagrams myself

[@farhadfarhadian1111]

How many quarts you added or are required

[@GWAYGWAY1]

That was a LOT of oil to come out, did you replace the plastic standpipe? There is a small metal pipe in there to stop all the oil coming out. I use the dipstick as well to check the level as well.

[@krioscuni2865]

He didnt do the torque converter. Thats 2l. He just drained 5l and put 6l in - so got 1l out again

[@VictorSilva-rq4kz]

What about the torque converter (couple of liters) and transfer case (1 liter)? It's very easy to do that. This is why I would rather do it right myself.

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

Victor Silva good for you!! In a shop we recommend services but it is the costumer call! I would not do something and have to pay out of my pocket for!!

[@giorgiodisciullo4353]

good job man. when refil oil whit or whitout parking brake?

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

Giorgio Di Sciullo no parking brake

[@Thedrstickyway]

Where are you located I need my car Fix just like you did

[@kimma7135]

Please help. Does anyone what is transmission pan torx bolt torque for 2009 Mecedes c300. Thanks

[@marvinmarcus5957]

This is not the recommended type of fluid. The recommended is blue in colour not red. This is the 722.9 plus. You can identify this by the oval shape of the depressions on the oil pan. Earlier models were round shaped and use this red fluid

[@Rimz782]

What is c300 2010 4matic tran oil type please ? Is it 722.4 or 722.5 or 722.9 ?

[@thebadboy236]

How do i know if my oil has to be red or blue? And how much oil did you use? My Gearbox code 722.964 2010 c300 4matic

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

Billy Albert Ureña Pereyra the procedure for this service is very complicated if you never done it before! You need to add fluid, then run the car to a certain temp and check the over flow if no oil comes out, add more and repeat the test till oil just drips from overflow. As far as the color you need to call a dealer with the VIN.

[@redbaron2448]

Do you have to reset the transmission TCU After?

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

redbaron2448 not at all.

[@PARDS2]

IF THE CAR IS A 4MATIC, CAN YOU NOT DRAIN THE TORQUE CONVERTOR? IS THERE NO WAY TO GET TO THE BELL HOUSING TO EXPOSE THE TORQUE CONVERTOR DRAIN PLUG? THX MUCH!

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

PARDS2 Replacement of transmission fluid ordinarily does not include draining the torque converter. The procedure specified in many factory shop manuals for changing transmission fluid is merely to drain and clean the sump, and then install enough new fluid to replace what was drained. If you want to do a complete flush there is an access at the bottom of the transmission and the converter does have a plug. If you don’t want to do it this way you can use the transmission cooler lines and drain the old fluid from there at the same time that you keep adding fresh fluid .

[@vicudobre9415]

Hi. I have Mercedes V class 2.2 cdi 2002 638 automatic transmission PLEASE HELP

[@yokev_5611]

Why didn’t you change the torque converter fluid?

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

W204Nation AMG this repair was just a filter, drain and refill and not a complete flush.

[@Hebert6760]

Im still looking for the part of the fluid 😞

[@ronaldmcdonald9322]

Shouldn't you also flush the cooler lines and drain the torque converter?

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

Ronald McDonald most definitely

[@nastytaco420]

@@MaicSalazarDiagnostics how exactly does that tc get drained?

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

@@nastytaco420 it has a plug for it. All you need to do is turn the TC till you see it from the inspection hole at the bottom of the bell housing. Make sure to clean the residues of loctite before installing the plug back.

[@nastytaco420]

@@MaicSalazarDiagnostics Thank. By the way awesome video, very help full as far as doing to change. I'm not a mechanic but to cut costs i do my own maintenance when possible. I will turn the TC and do what you've recommended. Thanks

[@LC-hq6hc]

Is it me or does this guy look so unsure of what he's doing 😂

[@mannym.4588]

Salazar Diagnostics 2008 Mercedes C300 4matic when I step on the accelerator, the car responds seconds later, this always happens, is this lack of fluid in the transmission? or another problem?

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

manny manny it can be.

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

Has it been like that since you got the car? These cars have a very slow throttle response by nature. Still feels odd to me. Every Mercedes I've ever driven including my c207 chassis is like that. It asks you, "are you sure?" before it gives it to you hahah

[@mannym.4588]

@@RothBeyondTheGrave it was always like this...responds to acceleration not immediately

[@RothBeyondTheGrave]

@@mannym.4588 not sure if you ever owned any front wheel drive, say, honda/acuras but coming from them a Mercedes throttle response definitely takes a second or 2 to kick in. A few beamers I drove also had a heavier pedal feel, but not as slow as Benz. Gotta really dig in. Not sure about amg's, but our trannys also shift super slow. 722.9 is made for cruising, not racing. There's lots of talk about it around, & even seen ppl using bolt ons like Pedal Commander (think that's it) to improve the responsiveness. You've got nothing to worry about

[@azizhachimi8744]

Hi buddy' this is inherent to all pre-facelift w204...I tried a 2012 C250 and was shocked how slow it was, so I passed my way until I found a "gem"....a 2014 C300 4Matic (late run with all issues fixed: location of signal indicator, throttle lag,...) WITH only 15K Miles (25K km) and, DAMN, it responds instantaneously and flies on the road...The other day I was on a 3 line road with a MK6 Jetta on my left and a Kia on my right and I gave them a chance after the lights went green...They thought they got advantage and then I put my foot down and they almost immediately disappeared in my rear view mirror...They really thought they would outrun a healthy (almost new) MB V6 engine....I only put Liqui-Moly "LeichtLauf" 5w40 in it and it purrs like a kitten... The other day I also smoked a Subaru impreza with a boxer engine....this thing rocks without any tune (250 bhp stock...)

[@Veaker]

Where can I get the adapters

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

Veaker Amazon

[@mikeFMichaels1949]

seems like after the fillup, too much oil was draining back out.

[@redbaron2448]

After changing the fluid went for a drive and transmission has a jerking feel what could that be now not enough fluid

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

redbaron2448 I’ll double check the transmission level.

[@redbaron2448]

@@MaicSalazarDiagnostics ok I'll try that

[@redbaron2448]

@@MaicSalazarDiagnostics so what do you think would it be too low on fluid or too much fluid

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

redbaron2448 it is hard to say. But low Fluid will create the issue more than a higher level. Unless is super high.

[@redbaron2448]

@@MaicSalazarDiagnostics okay great it's fixed now I guess a fluid was a little bit low shifts perfectly now thanks for your help and great video

[@beberdaurado4897]

Hello. The converter is drained?

[@krioscuni2865]

No. Thats why he says 6 not 7. And he got 1l out. So he changed just 5l. No converter drained

[@bombtkd]

you should use blue transmission fluid not red on 2010 mercedes 722.9 plus transmission ?

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

bombtkd dealer provide the fluid. Not on my hands to chose.

[@ricardovillalba3326]

Sometimes they don’t know what they r doing

[@joneskey3950]

I have gotten ATF from Mercedes for the same exact car and it was red

[@JamesAllen300]

Shouldn't you have checked first though before putting the fluid in to make sure 100% it was correct? You're the mechanic that did the fluid change, so it does come on to you. Whether it is red or blue depends on the serial number on the gearbox. I did have the serial numbers written down to show which is which. There is another way to tell and it's the design of the oil pan. See link below. www.benzworld.org/forums/w212-e-class/2336793-red-blue-atf-722-906-a.html

[@joneskey3950]

James Allen you can make a youtube video of going under the car, showing where and how to find the serial numbers on the transmission. Continue the video of your trip to the dealer and them telling you only needed the vin number to get the correct fluid, and it was a waste of time getting the serial number off the case/pan. Post a link here when your video is ready. Thanks

[@mckoylach1622]

What ever the amount you drained out,fill in the same amount,should be good,right? No need to follow all that procedures,right?

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

mckoy lach not really, this transmission needs to be on a specific temperature to be fill. Plus how you know if the fluid was low or not before? You can drain let’s say 8 liters and not be able to add them back unless transmission is at the specific temp.

What a ridiculous procedure to replace trans fluid. So many uncertainties, definitely big margin of error for fluid level.

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

Marco Anorico yes! Very important to keep temperature reading. It can take some time if not used to do it!
