Default Re: Changing manual gearbox oil

for the quest started we have this from the manual: 3-manual transmission fluid: only use fluid approved to MB 236.2. SAE 5W-20 engine oil,
we are lucky: it tells exactly what oil: SAE 5W20 engine oil. great! mission accomplished.

but somehow we got more data that applies to the rear axle (differential), from the same manual, and tells exactly which oil to use:
4-rear axle fluid: only synthetic SAE 75W85 axle lubricant that meets MB 231.1
for the automatic transmission, we are not so lucky. it does not tell exactly what to use right at the manual:
2-automatic transmission: only use ATF approved to MB 236.10, MB 236.12

here it shows these products to choose: https://bevo.mercedes-benz.com/bevol...236.10_en.html
the good thing of this is that the manual tells us the specification to use. then is up to us to choose which brand that matches.
and all of these are synthetic.
