After reading many posts in this forum, I am a little nervous about changing the tranny fluid on this 1992 300E with 91K on it. I just bought the car and have none of the service records, so do not know if it has ever been changed. Some folks are saying changing it this late in the game can cause more problems, while others disagree. Is there any consensus out there among the "experts" based on more recent information?

Also, if I do change it, what should I use, standard Dexron III or synthetic? Reading through old posts, I get no consistent opinion on this either.

I am hoping some knowledgeable folks can speak on this topic and put this one to rest for good...
