Re: [MBZ] ATF for 91 W124 300D 2.5
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 Dwight E.

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

The Mobil 1 made a great improvement in my 300D 2.5. The dealer put it in when I had a factory refurbished transmission installed. They recommended it. It shifts much better when cold.
