Transmission is every 30k on the AMG. 60k on the 250. They also added an "additive" for MY2016 but I know nothing about this. Transmission is a model 724 and takes 236.21 fluid. Definitely not their regular ATF. Seems to want rear axle fluid every 20k. Definitely not a car to get lazy with fluid changes.

Found this. Would prefer a sheet for 2015 but it's probably about the same.

Other notables include (adding above post for completeness):
- Transmission fluid every 30k
- Rear diff fluid every 20k
- Engine air filter every 10k on the M133 (AMG)
- Spark plugs 50k
- Fuel filter at 120k (probably in tank but not sure)
- All coolant at 120k

Agreed. I’ll change both asap. I also need to get a tpms sensor since one is missing.

Fluid kit though I would probably try to find something other than LiquiMoly for trans fluid based on their reputation on the 722.9.

Did we need two sessions and/or to set the computer up here where I can also replace the cat? I'm not sure it will be driveable home with a stock tune and no cat backpressure.

I'm free tonight, but tied up tomorrow and probably headed back to VT Thursday evening. If tonight doesn't work, looks like 9/8 - 9/9 are the next evenings I should be around.

He works 9am to 6pm EST. So evenings will be tight. I have an appt tonight at 5:45 so it would have to be comfortably before that.

I don't see why you couldn't drive on the stock tune with no cat. It would just set a CEL. And may even be two trip (so you wouldn't see it the whole drive home).

Right front: 1566900030

Don't see that door/cover listed separately. But maybe you can use this to search around on eBay more creatively. Could also be a junkyard type of item to grab.
