So....what would be your opinion if I found a synthetic product (like Amsoil), that had the MB 236.6 / 236.7 code rating? I understand the transmission is made to work exclusively with ATF IID, but synthetic oils, especially in transmissions, transaxles and differentials, beat mineral oil based fluids in every way. I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here, but wondering if a synthetic fluid can rightfully substitute for a mineral ATF IID without doing 'harm' to that expensive MB tranny?

They don't care about over 15 years old cars and if somebody noticed that ATFIII will work, they stop selling ATF IID and will just maximize their profits.

They were not able to deliver the right oil for my differntial cause they replaced it by a wrong one for differentials without limited slip. I wouldn't wonder if they are also selling wrong ATF Oil.

There are also some kinds of ATF IID on the market without a mercedes benz deklaration. The right deklaration is MB 236.6 / 236.7
The .6 is a little bit more softly. I'am using it from Valvoline.
