Hydraulic fuild question from a MB newbie
1999 e320 4matic
Have owned this wagon for about 2 months. The large hydraulic reservoir is a bit low on fluid. Would it be alright to use fluid from a general parts store, Advanced Auto, Napa, etc.... or find a way to get the good stuff from the MB dealership? The dealership is a bit of drive, just wanted to see the thoughts of other forum participants.
Thanks in advance.

I hesitate to use any generic fluid. If it turns out to be incompatible with the seals, you could be looking at an expensive repair. Stick with the fluid from the dealer.
Instead of making a special drive, it may be cheaper for you to order it online.
