2.6 Transmission oils, sheet 235.11
The fully synthetic gear oils are approved for all MB commercial vehicle manual transmissions installed
in MB vehicles with steel/molybdenum synchronization with and without oil coolers, in MB transfer
cases with and without oil coolers as well as in ZF manual transmissions with steel/molybdenum
synchronization.
Due to the favorable viscosity/temperature characteristics, a good cold-shifting response and, due to the
composition of the transmission oil, a good thermal/oxidative stability of the oil at high transmission oil
temperatures as well as a fuel savings potential depending on the operating conditions can be expected.
2.7 Engine oils, sheet 235.12
The engine oils must be used with a common oil system for transmissions used in tropical countries, and
for manual transmissions with a torque converter and clutch unit. These engine oils display the very high
seizure resistance required for use in transmissions. The oils need not comply with the engine oil pour
point specifications in these Specifications for Operating Fluids.
2.8 Engine oils, sheet 235.27
Commercial vehicle retarder oils: the products listed in the tables apply to commercial vehicle
transmissions: see MB Specifications for Operating Fluids 231.2. The engine oils are suitable for retarder
use. The oils need not comply with the engine Specifications for Operating Fluids 231.2. The engine oils
are suitable for retarder use. The oils need not comply with the engine oil pour point specifications in
these Specifications for Operating Fluids.
3. Automatic transmission fluids (ATF), sheet 236.1/.2/.3/.5/.6/.7/.8/.81/.9/.10/.11/.12/.13/.20
ATFs are comparatively low-viscosity gear oils which, due to their universal use potential as a gear oil or
a hydraulic fluid, can cover a wide spectrum of applications. The ATFs in the individual their universal
use potential as a gear oil or a hydraulic fluid, can cover a wide spectrum of applications. The ATFs in the
individual sheets differ essentially due to their inherent friction coefficients in tribological contact. This
property predestines these oils as function fluids for automatic transmissions whose ease of shifting,
among other things, is considerably affected by the friction coefficient of the ATF. Therefore, to achieve
optimum performance of the vehicles, only the ATF quality (sheet no.) assigned to the major assembly is
to be used. The individual ATF qualities will be described in greater detail below.
3.1 Automatic transmission fluids (ATF), sheet 236.1
The approved ATF correspond to the currently no longer valid GM specification Dexron II-D or the
currently valid GM specification Dexron III.
The field of application of these ATF includes MB automatic transmissions without controlled torque
converter lockup clutch in passenger cars, ZF Ecomat transmissions, Allison automatic transmissions,
Voith-Diwa transmissions and MB automatic transmissions in commercial vehicles and busses except
