Mercedes Automatic Transmission | Gearbox Oil & Filter Change

Your Mercedes Benz gearbox is a very sophisticated piece of engineering that needs to be looked after with regular oil changes. The smooth system is computer controlled with very fine engineering tolerances. If the gearbox oil is dirty, it will damage other parts and affect performance.

Dirty oil can overheat the gearbox or cause the gearbox to burn out. This will lead to poor gear selection, loss of drive and transmission failure.

If You're unsure which gearbox type your vehicle has fitted then please book any variant above and our team will advise you on the day of your booking which gearbox type you have fitted.

Your Mercedes Benz automatic gearbox oil and filter should be replaced every;

• 5 Speed - Every 40,000 miles or 4 Years [whichever is the soonest].
• 7G Tronic - Every 40,000 miles or 4 Years [whichever is the soonest].
• 7G Tronic Hybrid - Every 40,000 miles or 4 Years [whichever is the soonest].
• 7G+ Tronic - Every 40,000 miles or 4 Years [whichever is the soonest].
• 9G Tronic - Every 75,000 miles  or 5 Years [whichever is the soonest].

What happens when we perform an automatic gearbox oil & filter replacement?

During an automatic gearbox oil & filter replacement, we check the gearbox and look for any leaks. We drain the gearbox completely and replace the oil filter before filling it with high-quality gearbox oil that meets manufacturer standards.

Your gearbox must be cold when we performed this procedure which normally takes two hours. As a result the vehicle must be left to cool in our car park for several hours before we begin. We would require the vehicle for a total of 8 hours.
