Repair-It

For fluid if it were mine I'd probably buy this: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=10865748&cc=3298408&pt=11387&jsn=432 And since that can't be used in the GLS, that solves the "I will just stock one fluid" approach. But even this doesn't seem to be "approved.&qu...

ATF134 which is 236.14 (red, older fluid, used in my E55 722.6 and S550 722.9): https://images.oreillyauto.com/parts/img/documents/pnt/transmissionfluid_atf134_2019_color_508.pdf?_gl=1*8srh3l*_ga*MTc0NTgyOTAzNS4xNzE1MDA1MTgz*_ga_TV3LS85R98*MTcxNTAwNTE4My4xLjEuMTcxNTAwNTE4NC4wLjAuMA..

I had just done this on my S550. It was easy and cheap and is, in fact, the same W221 part. I would say overall similar results. Old one seemed squished and there are some modest smoothness improvements. I was also curious if the driveline angle was causing some NVH from the driveshaft. I didn't get...

This was totally unplanned but I did not like the appearance of the coolant in the tank. It was kind of....brown? Best case I think the coolant is either beyond its life (it's been done before so this is unlikely) or someone mixed some stuff in the past. I do know that mixing the newer, environmenta...

On a related note, I did some services yesterday @ 103,974 miles. I will recap here and then decide if I need to make dedicated threads: - Oil change https://forums.kevinallenmoore.com/viewtopic.php?p=23605#p23605 - Coolant change https://forums.kevinallenmoore.com/viewtopic.php?t=3735 - Trans mount...

Oil change @ 103,974. 8.5L of Molygen 5W-40. Will post Blackstone results when I receive them. Nothing unusual happened during the oil change otherwise. I did notice the oil level seemed to be halfway on the dipstick between min and max. I thought that might be normal but I checked it after changing...

I get the note - the Maxlife is thicker, so that will remove the fuel economy benefit of the lower viscosity introduced with 235.15. I still don't like the idea of modifying the viscosity of transmission fluid. It's a pretty tightly calibrated system that, while it can and does adapt, is at least ex...

There's a $90 Raybestos pan/filter on RockAuto. That appears to be the only non-Mopar, non-separate filter (Dorman) reasonable aftermarket option. I also emailed ZF to ask about what's different in their PN 1087.298.360 (w/fluid) and 1087.298.361 (w/o fluid) vs. Chrysler PN 68225344AA. I also asked...

Here's that black wagon.
