Where do you add transmission fluid on a 2006 Mercedes C280?

The transmission dipstick is located under the hood of your vehicle. It is usually a thin, long handle with a yellow or orange cap. To check the transmission fluid level, pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean. Then, reinsert the dipstick all the way into the transmission and pull it out again. The fluid level should be between the "Full" and "Add" marks on the dipstick.

If your transmission fluid level is low, you will need to add more. To do this:

1. Find the transmission fluid fill plug. This is usually a 17mm or 19mm bolt located on the side of the transmission.

2. Remove the fill plug and insert a funnel into the hole.

3. Slowly add transmission fluid until the fluid level is between the "Full" and "Add" marks on the dipstick.

4. Replace the fill plug and dipstick.

When choosing transmission fluid, it is important to use the type that is recommended by the manufacturer. You can find this information in your owner's manual.

Be sure to check the transmission fluid level regularly, and add more fluid if necessary. This will help to keep your transmission in good working order.
