Hello all. I am going to change the fluid in my manual trans on my 240D. I
noticed the owner's manual recommends 10W-20 motor oil for the trans. Why
not put gear oil like I'm used to? In addition, isin't 10W-20 hard to find?
Thanks.

EP gear oil will destroy the synchros in a Mercedes transmission. 10-30
Mobil 1 will work fine and Mobil 1 ATF works even better. Any standard
ATF will work alright, but Mobil 1 ATF works in Mercedes manual
transmissions better than anything I've ever tried.
