My locator doesnt show any info on much of anything. Mercedes is real good at keeping alot of info until they think the public is ready for it. The filters, you should be able to locat ethe oil filter by looking around the bottom of the engine with a flashlight, if it has an oil cooler follow the lines, may have a remote filter mount. The fuel filter/seperator, is usually on the engine around the top near the injection pump. Trans, they use a machine that is hooked up inline to reinstall teh same amount of fluid it removes, if you remove the top of the dipstick you may void the warranty.

Thanks for the reply, but quite frankly it wasn't worth 5 bucks! Didn't tell me much more than I already knew. Sorry
