I can't answer your question, except to say there is no downside to using the fully synthetic version of two products . Longevity is what you are paying extra for.

I did a lot of research, checking the Mercedes forums, etc. The fluid I selected is Valvoline Max Life Multi-Vehicle ATF. The data sheet is pretty comprehensive. See attached.

So many options, I've used Mobil ATF 134 for years now.

Here is a list of oils you can use:
MB 236.14 - Automatic transmission fluids (ATF, Specification 236.14) - Mercedes-Benz Specifications for Operating Fluids

(here some extra info: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...n-fluid-58651/)
