Mercedes-Benz GLE 9G-Tronic ATF Service Malaysia — W166/V167
GLE 9G-Tronic requires MB 236.15 ATF changed every 40,000–60,000 km. The heavy SUV in Malaysia's traffic puts higher thermal stress on gearbox fluid — more reason to service regularly.
All GLE W166 and V167 use 9G-Tronic automatic transmission with MB 236.15 ATF. The GLE's heavier weight and V6/V8 torque means the transmission fluid works harder than in a C-Class. Service every 40,000–60,000 km is important.
