Hydraulic oil is CHF 11 S (green in color} it is used in a number of other vehicles with semi auto boxes or DSG gearboxes I used OE spec from FEB Bilstien. and the system takes 500ml. Pentosin is another brand that can be used.

Did you fix it yet?
There is 2 types of oil for the box, 1 is for the regular part of the gear box, the second is the hydraulic oil for the pump, the hydraulic oil is from mercedes, not cheap, but if you use an alternative oil it will make matters worse, Ive seen mention of the relay under the drivers seat having an effect on the pump running as well, this runs when the door is opened to prime the automatic hydraulics for the gear box. Ive got the same issue, change the oil first too see if thats a quick fix, or else its towed too mercedes too get the computor onto it to trace the fault, mine wont go into gear after jumping out of gear on take off, it was a progresive fault, now it wont go at all.
