Hi.
A few of the Multi fluid usage posts has me thinking.
My Transmission was made in Germany by Mercedes. The casing says 722.6 on it. It was bolted onto a OM642 Engine, made by Mercedes, whilst still in Germany, then as a unit it was shipped to Magna Steyr factory and fitted into a Grand Cherokee. The Transmission is now designated a W5J400.
This was back in 2008 when Chrysler and Daimler were an item. I make the assumption that as my Transmission came from the Mercedes factory then its original fluid fill was MB236.10.
The vehicle manufacture - Jeep - says use ATF+4.
The Transmission manufacturer -Mercedes - says use the latest spec MB236.14.
I have read on this forum that the original MB236.10 is very close to ATF+4 so ATF+4 is just fine. Others have said that they are very different.
If this were your Transmission which would you use?
Multivehicle.
ATF+4
MB236.10
MB236.14
Thought i would make it a Poll.
I welcome any comments. I would say, please remember i have limited knowledge, so for those with an in depth understanding please be patient.
