[diesel_mercedes] Manual Tranny Oil

 



That sounds about right to me Max .

Older British cars also like thinnish Engine oil due to the tiny little roller bearings they use .

I had one that didn't shift well in spite of a very good clutch , I drained the tranny and filled it with synthetic engine oil and it shifted as new again .

If your drain plug is weeping , it prolly needs a new copper gasket ~ Hardware Store should have them .

Anyone have a manual Mercedes? What do you put in the transmission? I always used ATF but I finally read my owners manual. Here's what it says to use, engine oil SAE 10 W/20-20. Of course no one in my town has ever heard of this weight oil. I bought 2 quarts of Mobil 1 5W-20 thinking this will be fine. Any input? max
