Pardon my naive assumptions, I have observed Benz C and E class models of 2001- 2009 are relatively cheaper than their Toyota and Lexus contemporaries viz Camry, ES,GS, Avalon, etc

nurey: The correct fluid is a synthetic mineral oil, such as Pentosin ATF-1, Mercon V or Volkswagen G 052 162 A2. 3.750 liters is usually sufficient for a filter change. The transmission fluid is checked from underneath the vehicle while running and the transmission in park.
The correct answer is the excerpt I copied no dextron there

timenamoney: u did not mention the temostate question ,
a car despite the climate should use a themostate , it helps the engine reach it operating temperature , before the engine reach it operating temperature 100degre ( the middle line in the temperature gauge at the dashboard , but some mistake it as overheating ) , the ECU (car computer or brainbox ) run the injectors in open loops fuel operation (more fuel ), when the ECU get signal from coolant temperature sensor that the engine have reached it optimal operating temperature 100degre (the fan blow to cool down things) , then will the o2 sensor in exust pip ( like a plug with wires ) before the carterlyst , helps to calculate already burnt air and fuel ratio in exust , to minimize fuel if much or minimize air if much , the injectors then switch to close loop fuel operation (less fuel) for better fuel economy
when you don't use a themostate and run your fan continually ( it affects fan and battery lifetime , may not last up to 5year ) , your car may not reach it recommended operating temperature 100 degree , and will run in open loops all the time , which effect fuel economy , will flood your celinders during combustion , affects your carterlyst converter , and contaminate engine oil badly and engine oil will not reach it operating temperature to evaporate moisture (water , celinders blow-by fuel contents e.t.c which lead to engine damage sooner 
you may wish not to use a themostate but never bycort the fan to run continually , it should blow at 100degree , so that the car can reach it's optimal operating temperature on the long run , that how a car is produce to operate
Run car obd scan and report back
Check your miles per gallon ( MPG=4litre ) , when the low fuel light comes on, park while having 4litre already in trunk ,put fuel in tank reset trip a or b in odometer run till till low fuel come on again , to know your MPG , in multiple run rounds to get a proper result to compare when you put back temostate and set fans to factory settings
