7-speed automatic transmission 724.2 

Only use the transmission oils outlined in specification sheet 236.15

See WIS document: BB.00.40-p-0236-15a.

MB part number - A001 989 78 03 09

9-speed automatic transmission 725.0 

Only use the transmission oils outlined in specification sheet 236.16

See WIS document: BB.00.40-p-0236-16a.

MB part number-A 001 989 92 03

Separate filling units must be used for all oils (236.14, 236.15, 236.16) because these oils must never be mixed with other oils.

The modified Specifications for Operating Fluids are available in the table, the corresponding BB documents are in WIS or the BeVo Portal on the internet at: http://bevo.mercedes-benz.com for viewing.

Exception Note 1:  Transmissions, electrohydraulic controller units and torque converters made available through the parts department, are checked at the production plant with FE AT-134 only. This is why these parts may exhibit traces of FE ATF-134. In this case, the transmission, controller unit and torque converter must not be cleaned. The transmission can be filled with the corresponding gear oil (as per this SI) immediately after it has been installed.

Exception Note 2:  Transmission 722.6, 722.9 up to transmission component serial number 2834526 may not be filled with FE-ATF 134.

Transmissions constructed after the June 21, 2010 transition can be visually identified by the following characteristics:

1. The oil pan has a noticeable change in the 4 dimples (pictured below).
2. The oil pan is 5mm deeper
3. The overflow pipe (inside the oil pan) is Green, rather than black or white as on the earlier construction transmissions.

Xentry DAS version 05/2010 together with add-on 1476 displays a reference to the specified gear oil before reading out the transmission oil temperature.

This information must be observed when filling the transmission.
