Since we are on the topic of tranny fluid, what type fluid do you feel is
best for the automatic transmission found in my 80 240D and my 85 300D?
Also, I have a leak in one of the cloth/rubber return lines that goes from
injector to injector. Can I buy large section or roll of it and cut it to
length. If so, what is the best I can buy and where do I find it?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

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.
