7G-Tronic Mercedes Benz Transmission Servicing, 722.9 Oil + filter change

[@BenzAddiction]

Very satisfying project for most of the cars from 2005 to 2015 that saves you hundreds of dollars in servicing if you do this as a DIY. When was the last time you changed the transmission fluid on your 722.6 or 722.9?

@salvationbygracethroughfaith Hi mate, well, I think 722.9 is a robust and durable transmission already. This was the first fluid and filter change after 200K km, and the fact that it had not much metal particle and sludge can certify that fact. But for a 350 engine, I think that kind of modification is bit more than needed. Thanks for the tip though.

How to know which version i have?

Your camera angles are simply amazing as if we are also working on your W164..! A few experience to share: - I replaced my 722.6 fluid with MB-approved Shell 134 by inserting the fluid extractor tube. It reaches all the way down to the oil pan. This method avoids getting down the car & no need to open the pan or filter. - I use weight to measure fluid removed instead of volume with a simple postage scale so this avoids hot old fluid vs new cold fluid volume difference. My case came out 2700 gram (3.3L). Diff 722.6 will hold diff oil quantity. Final fluid level is set about 88°C from transmission module read-out & also inserting the 722.6 dipstick. - Lucky you do this in the winter. Here in Southern California, outside temp is easily 30~40°C so the fluid level adjustment window is very very short. I recently did my Toyota 6 speed fluid change which requires the same STUPID MB fluid check method. I had to stop my engine so the tranny temp doesn't keep raising beyond 40°C 😅 Amazing presentation as always 💯

Great job as always … Is that big white bottle from Harbor fright?

[@BenzAddiction]

Thanks mate, In Australia we don't have Harbor Fright. It is from Ebay.

Do you have merchandise now? (the cap)

Hi mate, feel free to order from my shop. Cheers, Max

Great video thanks. Sorry this is off topic but as it's a recent video perhaps someone who can help will see this. I have faults on my CLK but no codes are identified when scanned at the garage (perhaps the software needs updating?) I don't own a scanner so is there a way I can check for myself without a scanner? I've heard that some vehicles show up the codes if you turn the key to position 2 then off 3 times whilst holding down the brake pedal. Any thoughts on this please?

[@BenzAddiction]

I hope someone answers your question but I think W209 is not equipped with such a thing to show you an error code. If you want to keep your car I highly recommend you to buy a proper diagnosis tool.

@@BenzAddiction Thanks, I think you're right. I should mention that I carried out the transmission reset from one of your other videos and it has solved a couple of problems (car not wanting to change up into 5th and occasionally getting stuck in 1st or 2nd gear). Thanks for that and please keep on doing what you're doing - your videos are very thorough and informative.
