[R129 SL] New to the 129

[George Jenner]

I read your message on transmission oil changes with great interest.  Where 
did the information on changing the transmission oil come from??  When I 
asked my MB dealer in Greensboro, NC he said that the transmission is sealed 
and the oil never has to be changed.  I got the impression that he had never 
changed the oil on a sealed transmission as part of routine maintenance.  I 
am driving a 1996 SL500 and I suspect the oil has never been changed in 
78,000 miles.

Happy Motoring, George
