One of the less common maintenance tasks that are performed on a car is changing the transmission fluid. Typically, you'll want to change the fluid every 30,000 miles or so along with the filter in the transmission. If you are driving primarily in city traffic, you may want to consider changing the fluid every 15,000 miles. In the 1990's, there were more than a few major automobile manufacturers advertising that they had developed transmissions that required no fluid changes. The fluid inside was considered to be "lifetime" oil, meaning that it never needed to be changed. Over the years, it seems that this may have been an overly ambitious claim. We recommend that you make changing your oil and filter part of your regular maintenance.
Begin by safely jacking up and supporting your vehicle. Please see our article on safely raising and supporting your W124. Place a large trap or drip sheet under the car; have a large drain pan and lots of paper towels ready.
