Mercedes W210 E-Class 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 5G-Tronic (722.6) Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) Change
​Changing the fluid in the 5G-Tronic automatic transmission (internal code 722.6) on a Mercedes W210 is a critical maintenance procedure. The manufacturer generally recommends a fluid and filter change every 50,000 to 60,000 km (30,000 to 40,000 miles).
​The 722.6 transmission often includes a drain plug on the torque converter, which allows for a near-complete oil change. If this plug is absent, you may perform a partial change (draining only the pan) or a full flush using a specialized machine.
General Procedure (Full Change)
Warm-up: Run the engine briefly (5-10 minutes) to slightly warm the old fluid.
Drain Fluid from the Pan:
Place the car on a lift or jack stands over a drain pan.
Remove the transmission pan drain plug and allow the fluid to drain completely.
Drain Fluid from the Torque Converter (If Equipped):
​Rotate the crankshaft (via the crankshaft bolt) until the torque converter drain plug is accessible.
​Remove the plug and drain the remaining fluid. This step is crucial for a complete fluid change.
Remove Pan and Replace Filter:
​Remove the pan bolts.
​Carefully remove the transmission pan and the old filter.
​Clean the pan and the magnets thoroughly.
​Install the new filter.
Replace Pilot Bushing (Connector):
​If necessary, replace the electrical connector to prevent future leaks.
Reassembly:
​Install the new pan gasket and bolt the transmission pan back into place. Tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification.
​Reinstall the drain plugs (on the pan and torque converter) with new sealing washers.
Refill with New Fluid:
​Pour the required amount of new ATF through the dipstick tube.
Check Fluid Level:
​Start the engine and shift the selector lever through all positions (P, R, N, D, 4, 3, 2, 1), pausing for a few seconds in each, to circulate the fluid.
​The fluid level must be checked with the engine running and the transmission at a specific operating temperature (usually 80^\circ\text{C} or 176^\circ\text{F}). Add fluid as needed using the service dipstick tool until the correct level is reached.
Important: Correct level measurement and the use of 236.14 specification fluid are vital for the longevity of the 5G-Tronic. It is highly recommended that this procedure be performed in a service shop with the correct tools for temperature monitoring.
