Power Steering Fluid

So, do we use CHF-11s like most MBs, or the MB specific mineral fluid (I think it is Dexron3 like)?

If you need fluid, you have a leak. Get it checked out before it gets worse. The power fluid reservoirs are known to go bad. Changing the reservoir will be much cheaper than replacing the steering rack.
