VAICO V60-0345 is a full synthetic automatic transmission fluid designed for Mercedes-Benz vehicles with 9-speed 9G-Tronic (NAG3) transmissions, including 4MATIC, 725.0XX, and JR913E models. It meets strict MB 236.17 and 236.16 specs, ensuring smooth shifting and long-term protection from -40°C cold starts to 150°C high-heat operation.

This 1-liter bottle of yellow ATF oil keeps gears clean, reduces wear, and maintains consistent performance whether towing heavy loads or driving in extreme weather. Original VAICO quality matches factory standards for reliable power transfer.

When to Use / Replace?

• Replace every 60,000-80,000 km or 4-5 years under normal driving to prevent sludge buildup and harsh shifts.
• Use during transmission service if your Mercedes shows slipping gears, delayed engagement, or warning lights.
• Ideal for high-mileage vehicles over 100,000 km needing fluid refresh to restore factory-smooth operation.

Shelf life is 5 years unopened when stored cool and dry. Always check your owner's manual for exact intervals.
