Purpose and Specifications

SWAG 10 94 7716 is a premium automatic transmission fluid (ATF) designed for 9-speed automatic transmissions. This yellow fluid meets Mercedes-Benz specifications MB 236.16 and MB 236.17, ensuring smooth gear shifts, optimal hydraulic pressure, and protection against wear and heat buildup inside your transmission.

The fluid works by lubricating internal transmission components, cooling the system, and maintaining consistent performance across a wide range of engine power outputs (88 to 843 horsepower). It comes in a convenient 1-liter bottle for easy topping up or partial fluid changes.

When to Use or Replace?

Replacement intervals: Most automatic transmissions require a fluid check every 40,000 to 80,000 kilometers or annually, whichever comes first. A complete fluid change is typically recommended every 100,000 to 160,000 kilometers, depending on your vehicle manufacturer and driving conditions.

Signs you need this fluid:

• Transmission fluid level is low (check dipstick or electronic gauge)
• Fluid appears dark brown or smells burnt (indicates degradation)
• Delayed gear engagement or rough shifting
• Transmission overheating warning light appears

Operating temperature range: This ATF performs reliably in temperatures from -30°C to +100°C, making it suitable for both cold winter starts and hot summer driving.
