Default Air Filter and Tranny ??

What brand would you replace the stock air filters with. I think I will stay with paper filters. I am not real interested in $160 from the dealer.


Also

Is the AMG transmission a sealed unit. I do not find a dipstick. I do not yet have a manual for my 2002 clk 55 amg. This is why I ask. What is the suggested fluid change interval??

Thanks

Air filter: I use WIX or go with a K & N as I did.

Tranny: Never service? MB says so. I say do fluids and filter including draining the torque converter, every 60K. The DEALERSHIP Should do this service for about $160. Do the Rear Differential gear oil too. Your car will last longer, for sure.

You can use MANN Filter for your air filter you can buy this online.

You can order the dipstick at e-bay. And leave your AT Fluid change to the pro.

AT Fluid change interval is between 50-70K miles.

FYI, 2000-2002 and up CLK55 does not have drain for the torque converter.
