To check the transmission fluid level on a Mercedes Benz 2000 mL430, follow these steps:
- Make sure the vehicle is parked on a level surface and the engine is off.
- Open the hood.
- Locate the transmission fluid dipstick. It is usually marked with a bright yellow or red handle.
- Pull the dipstick out and wipe it clean with a rag.
- Reinsert the dipstick into the dipstick tube.
- Pull the dipstick out again and check the fluid level.
- The fluid level should be between the "Full" and "Add" marks on the dipstick.
- If the fluid level is low, add some ATF until the fluid level reaches the "Full" mark. It is recommended to use ATF Mercedes-Benz part number 236.14 (or compatible) to ensure optimal transmission performance.
- Clean the dipstick, reinsert it and verify the fluid level is at the correct level.
- Replace the dipstick
