How often should the transmission fluid be changed for a Mercedes-Benz A180?
1 Answers
The transmission fluid replacement interval for the Mercedes-Benz A180 is every 60,000 kilometers, with a replacement capacity of 6 liters. There are two methods for replacing the transmission fluid in the Mercedes-Benz A-Class: 1. Gravity Drain: This method is similar to changing the engine oil. Loosen the bolt on the oil pan and allow the transmission fluid to drain out by gravity. This method is simple but does not completely remove all the old transmission fluid. Residual fluid often remains in the crevices and recesses of the transmission. 2. Machine Flush: First, add new transmission fluid to the flushing machine. Connect the transmission to the machine via hoses, and the new fluid will push out the old fluid under pressure. This method cleans the fluid passages more thoroughly. The more new fluid used, the cleaner the system becomes. A machine flush typically requires about 10-13 liters of transmission fluid and takes approximately 1 hour to complete.
