Transmission fluid must be changed for smoother gear change and longer life. I change my brake fluid every 9 months myself. Brake fluid must be changed every 1 year same as your radiator coolant. If water sips in your brake system to the brake fluid, then something really bad will happen in the long run.

Taken at the Moscow International Airport, it is not known whether the car is real or made out of plastic, but I reckon it’s plastic. I doubt if Mercedes really would stick half a ton of E-Class on a ceiling. It’s a really good marketing propaganda if you ask me, we...
