[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 2585154, member: 718"] Yes, I agree. The oil will probably start to degrade out of spec from about 100,000 miles in a normal car, but a bit sooner if in an ML or GL or anything that tows a lot or is driven particularly hard. Normally that would mean the gearbox would probably fail due to degraded lube at about 150,000 miles. Therefore my choice would be to change the oil at between 60,000 and 70,000 mile intervals. Two changes would therefore take it to 200,000 miles, which is quite a lot. Your regime is even better if you intend to keep the car running for mega-miles. That's not to say it will though. You still need a bit of luck. The weak point on the 7-Shitronic is the valve chest and possible sticking solenoids. I haven't followed the history of these transmissions in a good long time now and there is far more experience out there by now than I know about. [/QUOTE]
