How do you check the transmission fluid level on a mercedes benz 1999 e320?
I was a Mercedes mechanic. I bought a dipstick from the dealer. I service my transmission every 30,000 miles, changing the oil & filter and draining the torque converter. After draining the oil, the pan can be dropped by unbolting it (under the car) so the filter can be replaced- including a new pan gasket. Torque converter is rotated by hand with a big screwdriver so the little drain plug can be removed and replaced. Fluid from the dealer is not cheap but worth it.
