Power Steering Fluid- Newbie Question
Sorry for the basic level of this question, but which reservoir is the P/S fluid? I've got a '95 C220.
I'm guessing it's the round metal cylinder towards the front drivers' side of the engine bay with a black nipple-type plastic cap on it, but it's got no labeling on it, and I wanted to make sure before I made a costly mistake.
Also, if this is indeed the P/S reservoir, how do I know what the right fluid level is? There's just an off-white plastic piece inside it without any markings.
Thanks in advance

Yes, that’s the right reservoir.
The plastic level should have a temperature mark on which you should fill up to. It's either 20 or 30, can't quite remember.
Only use Mercedes Benz fluid as it's apparently different from most brands, as is the Anti-freeze/coolaid.
