Hi guys,
I'm surprising my wife with a 2001 SLK this spring.
We've talked about it for years, and its on its way!
Whats the deal with Mercedes recommended fluids? Are they really THAT picky? Redline has said their 75w90 will work, AMsoil doesnt have a listing.
Redline and Amsoil both say their Universal ATF will work.
I'm a bit concerned about using the wrong stuff.
I've called the dealer, they seem to want to to bring it in for some reason.
any thoughts?
