I need to fill a 1968 Mercedes 280s which has a slow transmission leak and I do not know the right fluid to use. The manual simply says fill with automatic transmission fluid, which isn't very helpful considering how many types there are now.

What ATF should I use?

  • There is "generic" automotive ATF ... I'd suspect this is exactly what they are talking about ... however, I agree ... better to know exactly what to use rather than guess.

    They used Dexron ATF those years.

  • @Moab, I'd take that as an answer if you turn it into one.

They used Dexron ATF those years, any Dexron ATF will work in your transmission.

From this link it seems you have a few options with the suggested being Mobil ATF D/M. Hope this helps!
