Hi,

What kind of transmission fluid should I buy to my Tiptronic?

996.2
Production:01.2003
Engine 3.6 320HP
Transmission code: A9610
Car from japan market.

This is Mercedes transsmission. On the sump is the number: A 772 270 15 12.

 

The fluid should be "Shell ATF 134".
Fluid can also be bought at Mercedes. Ask for fluid for a 2005 E55 AMG.

 

Thank you very much for the advice, it's really difficult to choose oil for this gearbox.

I found two Shell ATF 134.

One is:
Shell Spirax S6 ATF 134ME for 7G-tronic Mercedes-Benz (NAG2FE+), MB-approval 236.15
and the other one is:
Shell Spirax S6 ATF 134M "for 5 and 7 gear NAG2-V sport Mercedes Benz", MB-approval 236.14 and compatible with: MB236.1 and Mb236.10

I heard that many people use 7G oil to 5 gear transmission becouse its better. Which one fluid should i use?

Should I buy anything else besides oil, gasket and filter?

 

I have been using valvoline maxlife in my 722.6 transmissions for years.

 

Either of the two Shell fluids will work. The gearbox is called "5G tronic" or "NAG" by Mercedes.
Pentosin ATF-6 is recommended when the Shell fluid is not available.
