You don't really need to change your transmission oil now. I did it because I drive my car really hard so I always use the best available synthetic fluids such as Mobil 1 or Amsoil or Motul to add some extra wear protection.

If you don't abuse your car as I do just stick with the recommended factory intervals. That's all the car really needs under regular driving conditions.

I just feel better about my tranny knowing that I have the best quality liquid in there ; )

Regarding the brake fluid...

ATE super racing blue DOT4 is made in Germany and used by many sport European cars. I sure you should be able to get it in your country. Just ask on any Mercedes dealer.
You should also be able to use MOTUL RBF600. That is also made in Europe!
