My thanks to those that responded. It was confusing because MBZ has a
list of recommended fluids. According to Amzoil, who I called, the
specification is the Dextron III specification and they say that is the
critical thing that the fluid meet, which is what I think you were
saying. It is recommended on their website which I think gives them
legal liability. Something they don't do, by the way, with the Amzoil
that I have been using for the engine: Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel &
Marine Motor Oil *SAE 15W-40 (AME)*. They do recommend a 5W-30 European
Oil so apparently it meets some European spec. He was saying that was
possibly meeting an emissions criteria so I'm not going to worry about
it. Again, thanks all.

Does anyone have any information and or thoughts about the use of synthetic
Amsoil ATF in an older 123 Diesel with a 722.315 transmission?
This meets the MB spec
http://www.amsoil.com/storefront/atf.aspx
That is specified here

I use Mobil 1 ATF as it is cheaper. Amsoil makes fine products too.
Mobil 1ATF is thought of as an elixer for tired transmissions by some folks. I
would expect Amsoil to perform nearly as well, if not as well as Mobil 1.
