Mercedes Transmission Oil Pan - Genuine Mercedes 2212701212

It does seem to work as intended, so no issue as of yet. Then again I had the original pan for 16 years which developed a bit of rust around the drain opening.

W209

I planned on replacing the trans fluid and filter in my 2010 C300 4matic sport with 722.96 trans. I wasnt sure which fluid and filter to get so i went under the car to see which exact pan is there and sure enough its rusted everywhere. Car just hit 150,000 miles and has been a new England car its entire life so its seen alot of snow and salt. The old pan has the 4 small round indents indicating its this 2212701212 pan. I looked around and seems this Mercedes pan from FCP is the best deal plus im right in MA so my orders usually arrive the next day after being shipped and thats with the free economy shipping. Cant beat that. This new pan looks great, comes with the drain plug and copper washer. This drain plug uses a T40 instead of an allen head. The drain plug was a bit tight to get off, seems the plug was installed when the pan was painted so have to crack it free. I also had to use the edge of a knife to seperate the washer from the drain plug head because of the paint. I noticed the copper washer does not come off, or come off easily even with trying to spin it off with the threads of the plug. I did purchase a few of the CRP 12x17x150ku copper washers to use as replacements since they were inexpensive but when i contacted FCP asking about if i can just re-use the copper washer that is installed on the drain plug they said the CRP washers are not listed as working with my car and to use the washer the pan came with. I find that odd since the washers kept popping up at the bottom of the pages as "you might also need" items, and also I thought the drain plug is the same between this pan and the newer 2010+ pan and the washers are listed as coming with the "Mercedes 722.9 Filter Upgrade Kit - Pentosin 001989680310". Also it does say yes this part will fit but it does say Timing cover plug gasket, so who knows. Just letting you know if you're thinking about getting the CRP washers maybe double check with FCP before buying.

This is exactly the right pan for a 2015 E63 S-AMG; I found that out on my second attempt. It does not come with the metal particle collector magnet so don't throw that out... and oddly, it does come with the drain plug already installed to final torque, so you do have to break that free to fill it and then install another all new crush washer during re-install of the plug.

Got the proper pan on the 3rd day after shipment to Eastern Canada. Great service!!!!

Changed out my old rusted pan after 14 years old. Good to have a new pan under there for a peace of mind.

The original pan on my Benz was rusting and needed to be changed. FCP had one of the best prices and I don't mind paying a few extra dollars to get the best possible customer service.
