Reyna7,

It is my understanding it IS the correct dipstick.

Since these transmissions are reportedly hypersensitive to the correct fluid volume, I PERSONALLY didn't want to take the chance buying an "aftermarket" dipstick.

Sooo, I went to my dealer, and gave them my "you pride yourself on meeting/beating prices,,,,,," speil, and they gave me the MB unit for around $35.

Caliber motors (Anheim Hills, California) is also a good reliable source of "discounted" MB parts.

Cerritos, I don't know about concept of NOT changing the filter. I have read alot of transmission problems arise from a mucked-up filter. I think I would change it! Just my .02, though.
