Change your transmission oil!

I really loved having this car, but now I am told that I need a new transmission. I drive a lot, which is why I got the diesel. One time I got 40 miles per gallon on a trip to the shore! I brought the car in religiously for service which is why I was so shocked that my tranz needed replacement. Transmission oil is not listed to be changed at intervals like regular oil. I wish I changed it at 80K because then I would not have been writing this review. Learn from my mistake. Change the tranny oil.

Merc E320 4Matic is the best

Initially , i use to be a big fan of Audi as i owned one , heavy weight and great dynamics i thought could not get better than Audi. But once i sat in E320 4matic i just loved interior and bought it without second thought. It never turned down my expectations. Once i was driving in New England Storm i took exit for gas and got stuck in 3 foot snow. But i now my merc can handle it like nothing , i switched to Sport mode and press the pedal it jumped of the heavy snow like a tiger everybody around just baffled as they shoveling hard to get their car out of snow. I can drive 50 miles an hour on ramps like nothing . I drove from Pittsburgh to Boston with 31.5 MPG , Jap owners went jealous..:)

Have owned car for four years and have put less than 16,000 miles with total mileage under 62,000 It drives flawlessly and is in perfect condition. The key is having an expert Mercedes Mechanic. The Guy that services my car worked for Mercedes Truck division is incredible. He knows my car intimately and knows exactly how to maintain it. In 2017 I placed a fuel pump and this spring replaced tires with Good Year top of the line Touring tires. That is it. My 320-E is a flawless example of Mercedes engineering and is a joy each day to drive.
