ABC Flush Sanity Check
Just a quick check before I order the bits to flush the system on my 2007 SL 550.
Parts needed:
10 liters of Pentosin CHF 11S
ABC Filter
Confirming the return line feeds into the filter cap. (So the fluid is filtered as it reenters the reservoir). Run this line to a 5 gallon bucket during flush.
The rest seems pretty straightforward in warming up the ABC system and having someone move the suspension up and down as i keep the reservoir full. Looking for clean green fluid (mine is now black) on return.
Is my logic right? Especially that the oil is filtered as it returns to the reservoir (the inside filter cylinder captures the grit)
Thanks,
John
