Oilchange gearbox ´98 300tdt

Hi everyone.
Is it difficult to change oil in the automatic gearbox in a E 300 tdt´98? How much oil does it contain and how to "measure" it since there are no stick to do so. (Please have patience with my English, I´m from Sweden".

thanks

if you will drain from the oil pan, 1 3/4 liter is enough but if you will drain the torque converter (there is a small hex screw), then about 3 liters.

the best way is to measure the oil that you drained and add about a cup.

without the chopstick, err... the dipstick, you have no way of knowing it.

Thank´s a lot for the qiuck answer. What kind of oil should I use then, any ATF-oil or is it neccessary to use "Mercedes"-oil?

ATF oil.

the viscosity are all the same.

using MB ATF is good, so you can prevent any shifting problem.

i use the same oil on that little green man on the left, and he keeps on running for long now.
