Mercedes Benz W166 ML350 Bluetec Transmission service fluid oil change

- This video shows how I changed the transmission fluid in a 2013 ML350 Bluetec. I didn't drain the torque converter since it was a bit difficult to remove the auxiliary pump to access the drain plug.
I also didn't exactly follow the fill process since it seems too much fluid was draining out. I made sure the same amount of fluid was put back in.
So I did some research on the pump in the video because I was about to spend 197.00 on a gadget to fill up my transmission (I worked in MB shop for 2 years and was spoiled with all the gear).
I believe that the gentleman is using a Slippery Pete fluid pump that comes in two sizes. Quart 12.99 Gallon 15.99.
Yes you have to pump a lot to get the fluid in (depending on what fluids you are changing) but I do not change my transmission or differential oil all that often, so yes I will have to pump a whole lot about every 5 years...I call that exercise and believe me, this woman can use all the exercise she can get!
I am so glad I found this video because now I am not spending 200.00 on a gadget that I can only use for transmission fluid (MB blue), whereas that pump can be easily cleaned and used on other fluids.
I am glad you found the video helpful 😀
I made a pump from a Harbor Freight pump sprayer for weeds etc. About 25 bucks. Worked great.
Haha! I love how you used the oem boot mat as an oil drip tray for the garage! Thanks for sharing this very helpful video.

Hi Ken, may i know how you check the correct spec fluid? I think i have the same model year as your car but my search came up with mb 236.14 as the fluid which is red. The fluid in your video is blue which is mb 236.15.
@nixrides8775 hi, the 7 speed 722.9 gear box for cars from 2010 uses 326.15 according to the dealer where I got the fluid from. The 326.14 is for pre 2010 722.9.
@@user-fk2ro9un7z thanks for replying. Thats what i thought too. But my merc dealer and an independent shop told me that my fluid was 236.14 and i had already ordered the 236.15
I guess the torque convertor should be drained out, as well! There is an opening in the transmission bell housing to complete this. It's a 2 man job actually, since you have to turn the engine to locate the converter drain plug.
in this car there's an auxiliary pump in the way of the torque converter drain plug. I decided not to remove the auxiliary pump.
My biggest question is how many liters has to go in after I other putting 5ltrs others 7ltrs but if I google it's like transmission takes 9ltrs I'm confused 😕🤔
@@markminja4307 other videos say pump 6ltr in if you drain transmission, and another 4ltr in if you drain torque converter. Lots of oil around the system.
not worth it.
WIS says that a total there is a total of 9l liters in the 7g+ transmission. I did this on my w166 yesterday and used 9l of fluid meanwhile I removed even the pump and had access to the torque converter from which roughly 3l of tranny fluid came out.
I have a 2012 ml350 Bluetec, is there no dipstick location to check the level of transmission fluid? I believe mine is unfortunately empty
hi, there's no dip stick for the transmission
Did you have any issue after changing oil transmission or is it running better after changing oil transmission? Thanks
hi, no issues after the fluid change, I couldn't see any difference while driving, but it's a preventative service anyway.
@@kenkanfixi asked one of the best mechanical where i leave and he told me he will repleace the fluid with green one so i am not sure do i need to use blue or green flued? Any idea which one is better. Thanks
hi, I would suggest contacting a Mercedes dealer and give them your VIN, they would give you the correct fluid for your car.
Question on fluid, i bought Mercedes compatible fluid but its red and i have the blue color. I am assuming they are mix compatible?
hi, pre 2010 the oem fluid is red and post 2010 the oem fluid is blue. I can't comment about mix compatibility though.
Absolutely not. Do not mix as these fluids are different spec. To find the correct fluid use a free vin decoder and if you have the option A89 in the spec sheet then you should use the blue fluid with spec MB 236.15 if not your car has the regular 7g tranny and you should use the red fluid MB 235.14.
Great video, but you change only 75% from old oil. Now you have mixed oil 75% new oil, and 25% old oil. After 500km. drive will be good when you change again gearbox oil. This oil has not been changed in a long time.
What
thank you so much for the video! what kind of transmission specs fluid and how much did it cost you?
hi, the transmission fluid was MB-236.15 and AUD$120 per 4 litres container
@@kenkanfix thank you 🙏
How many high do you need to raise the car? Thank you for your video!
hi, the car is sitting on wooden blocks about 20cm high.
Hi are these icarsoft scanners best for a Mercedes ml w166 and do they do the job of finding all faults? As I seem to have an air suspension problem as car stuck in up position and does not lower when pressing airmatic button in the car
hi, this scanner won't be as good as the ones used by mercedes or independent mechanic. I know this because my mechanic's scanner showed my airmatic needed recalibration when my scanner didn't. after the recalibration the car actually drives better.
@@kenkanfix ok thanks got the car booked in but not till 4th feb as they busy but I’ll get them run a diagnostic on it when doing a transmission service 🤞it’s an easy fix 🙏
Check you ride height sensors. The arms gets jammed up with debris and then rust
Funny enough iv had a service the other day and say rear sensor rods are corroded but ok dont need replacing yet but think ill get onto it soon ride hight is all good after i went and had it redone but now after service they picked up rust on sensor rods
There is no fill plug for the transmission?!?!?!??!😮😮😮😮
Hi There
Good job. But how many lites transmission fluid total you did it? Thank you
hi, it was about 6 litres.
over torque?
How many quarts did you use 🤔
hi,
I put in 6 liters
@@kenkanfix is the blue or red transmission fluid?
Please advise.
@@bigvan706 hi, I used blue transmission fluid.
@@kenkanfix thanks
Hi, can you provide the kit part number? Thanks
Hi, it's best if you go to partsouq.com and enter your VIN so you can get part number for your car. Mine was A2222772000 (filter) and A2202710380 (rubber seal). good luck :)
