Power Steering Fluid Change

I got a great deal on Pentosin CHF 11S hydraulic power steering fluid so I decided to do a fluid change. To be honest, it was not that necessary at 44,xxx miles, it was almost the same color as the original. The one thing I do recommend to all w203 owners is to change the differential gear oil every 35,000 miles as mine was dirt black at 40,000. Anyhow here are some pics from a few hours ago.

What kind of Diff oil did you use? I settled for Mobile 1 75W90, since the "specified" MB fluid wasn't readily available in my area. Working fine so far.

That is the identical oil I used and I must say it made a world of difference. How many miles did your car have when you did it and what was the complexion of the oil?

I did mine at 103,000 miles, about 3 months ago. I am not sure if the original owner ever did it in the 12 years they owned it, but it sure looked like they didn't. It looked disgusting!
