50k miles service

50k miles on my 2003 C230

This is what I had done:
oil change
trans oil change (trans was leaking so trans connector $18 was changed)
coolant change
differential oil change
fuel filter

spark plug recently changed by myself
air filter recently changed by myself
cabin filter recently changed by myself

Brake fluid will be done on the next oil change. Did I miss anything?

I missed power steering fluid.

Is there super charge oil on 2003 C230? I thought it uses engine oil.

i actually have not heard of anyone changing ps fluid don't really know if it is needed or not. I am at 143k so i wonder if i need to do it or not.
I also have no clue on the SC i am a v6 guy not 4banger i bet someone will chime in on that for us.

143k miles!

I would get it changed, since there are moving parts like engine and transmission.

Power steering pump do fail and most people (including me) usually don't remember to take care of it.
