Power Steering Fluid Spec???
Hey guys. Does anyone know what the spec is for the power steering fluid. The manual just says MB brand. Can I use other than MB brand? I want to flush mine out and replace with new fluid. Thanks.

Thanks for the info.
I decided to call 3 dealerships to check on pricing for the Pentosin fluid. Price ranged from $24 to $36 per quart. The surprising part was that 2 of the 3 asked for my VIN number. They both said that I do not need the Pentosin fluid?? Since my vehicle does not have an ABC suspension, that the vehicle takes a DEXTRON 3 fluid for the power steering?? Is this correct? The 3rd dealer said it didn't matter whether you have ABC or not and that it needed the Pentosin fluid. Who's correct here?
