In the KFZ-Werkstatt SAVTRANS Berlin was aMercedes-Benz E320, 4.0, Year of Manufacture 2003 for an automatic transmission oil change, as well as replacement of the filter and gearbox oil pan.
We don't change the gearbox oil very often, and perhaps some people have never changed it at all. This Mercedes-Benz E320 has covered over 300,000 km, and the vehicle owner has decided to have it changed.
When should the gearbox oil be changed?
- Foreign noises from the gearbox
- The vehicle judders when changing gear
- Mileage over 300,000 km


Gearbox oil change Berlin – appointment in 2 hours
The customer had already purchased oil, a filter and a gasket for a complete change. Master Dmitri raised the car on the lift and unscrewed the drain plug. After the oil was completely drained from the gearbox, Dmitri unscrewed the oil pan. Once the oil pan was removed, the mechanic flushed out all residues of the old oil, replaced the filter and the oil pan gasket. He then reassembled everything and filled the gearbox with 7 litres of new oil.


How often should the gearbox oil be changed?
Many manufacturers describe the gearbox oil as „permanently durable“ – however, this is only true under ideal conditions. In practice, experts recommend changing the automatic transmission fluid every 60,000 to 100,000 km to change. For older vehicles or those with high mileage – like the Mercedes-Benz E320 with over 300,000 km – a change is urgently necessary.
Outdated gearbox oil loses its lubricating properties, which can lead to increased wear, jerking when changing gears, and in the worst case, gearbox failure.
