The manual transmission in a Mercedes DOES NOT use gear oil -- it uses ATF! If you put gear oil in a Mercedes manual transmission, you will ruin it, not only because it will get improper lubrication, but because the sulfur in the gear oil will attack the metal of the synchros. IIRC, a Dexron II or III product will work, but I have used Mobil1 ATF.
