Hi all I'm Burn and just joined. Inherited this car from my late father. CKD Elegance year '08, mileage 145k km. Can you guys recommend ATF brand/grade/quantity and, do you think flushing is advisable? btw just bought helix ultra 5W40 as well as I'm planning to replace all fluids/oils to start fresh. kindly also reco brake/power steering/ differential, etc fluids. Any reco of good foreman in Penang area will be much appreciated too. TIA

Hi Burn, W211 2008 is a very nice machine. :)

Members recommend Ravenol for ATF , and normally use 10w40 for engine oil.

Hi Burn, you may wanna try out Superexcel auto which specilised in Mercedes located at Transfer Road, Look for Ah Guan as he is one of the partner, the other partner is called Ah Soon, but Ah Guan is more leinant in term of pricing. They are not expensive at all and the best part is that they are a very responsible mechanics shop you can count for. Strongly recommended by me! You may tell Ah Guan that Raymond recommended you here. Good luck and welcome to the club.

Hi,

For the ATF I suggest using the ori MB ATF. Cost should be about +/- RM50 per liter. You may need up to 6.5 liters, including changing the ATF in the torque converter.
