Evilution has a great write up: Evilution - Smart Car Encyclopaedia Worth your while to get a reasonably priced subscription IMHO.

Bottom line is the 453 manual trans takes MB standard MB235.10 fluid, and the DCT takes MB standard MB235.73 fluid.

MB235.10

Gear Oil

75W-80

MB235.73

Gear Oil

75W

Changing gear oil will only applicable to manual transmission, right?
I thought the 453 DCT transmission is "sealed" and there is no need to replace it. Is it not?

Evilution shows the fluid change procedure for both transmissions: Evilution - Smart Car Encyclopaedia

Whether or not a fluid change is needed is another question....
