Clueless
Hi y'all,
Just a quick question, because I didn't find the answer anywhere.
I've just visited a local transmission specialist garage for a fluid change. The mechanic used synthetic ATF fluid that had no MB 236.10 or 236.12 approval markings, which was Allison Transynd TES-295 fluid. I argued that the Sprinter would need some MB approved fluid. He said he was using the Transynd on all NAG1 or Mercedes vehicles transmission he had been servicing so far, without any problem reported, which somehow convinced me, but not entirely.
I wonder if some of you ever faced the same issue, or if anyone actually used the Transynd fluid?
Some input would be appreciated. I just want to be sure I'll not have some bad surprises along the way.
