Larry, To echo what John and Werner said. I use Mobil 1 ATF in my 240D and my 300D 2.5t. They both shift well in cold. On the 240D I had a before and after comparison. On the 300D 2.5t, it's just smooth and no hesitation when staring out on a cold RI morning. I don't know about the Dexron III equivalent-I only found one Mobil 1 ATF-Marshall or someone else can comment on the tech specs. HTH Dwight

Changing it every 30k, including the torque converter, new filter and gasket, of course every change.
